Fill Up the Bucket is FRIDAY

This year our annual Fill Up the Truck Lenten drive will be replaced with the "Fill Up the Bucket" class competition! THIS FRIDAY, March 26, Theology classes will collect monetary donations and spare change in hopes to raise desperately needed funds for Little Bottoms Free Store, Bottoms Up, Mommies Matter and the St. Francis Center in McArthur, Ohio. The class that proportionally collects the most funds earns a dress down day on Wednesday, March 31.  
Parking for 2021-22

It's time to start thinking about carpools for the 2021-22 school year! Spring Break is the perfect time to begin reaching out to families to gauge interest. 
Primary registration for the 2021-22 parking lottery will be held digitally May 11-13. Only carpools with three or more students may be registered during this window. We are conducting the lottery process in May again this year in order to ensure that students have the best chance of filling their carpools.

Counseling Corner

Our counseling department would like to expand our list of tutors. We offer a tutoring list for students and families who request it; families then contact the tutor that they are interested in working with. Tutors are not BWHS employees and will coordinate with the family directly for scheduling and payment. We are looking for tutors in all subject areas. If you are interested, please email your name, contact information that may be released to families, and subject area(s) to Jenny Sponseller at jsponseller@cdeducation.org.
