Congratulations BBHHS Wrestlers
The Bees Wrestling team had six athletes compete in Columbus for the OHSAA State Championship this past weekend. The team proved to be one of the top Division 1 programs in the state as they finished 6th overall. Individually Luke Vanadia led the Bees as he finished 3rd in Ohio at 175 lbs overall. Several Bees finished 4th overall in the state at their respective weight classes, including Brett Stanley (106lb), Chase Pluhar 132lb), and Manny Scrodos (144lb). Junior Max Vanadia finished in 6th place for his 215lb. weight class while Kaden Jett suffered an unfortunate injury that required him to withdraw from the tournament. Congratulations to the team on another very successful season, and we look forward to seeing what this young team can accomplish again next season.

Spring Fling
On Saturday, March 19th Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School will be hosting our Spring Fling semi-formal from 7:30-10:30 pm. We are incredibly pleased to share that $2 from each ticket sale has been donated to Providence House. The dress for the event is semi-formal, and appropriate school outfits are required for all dance guests. Any guest who has not submitted a guest affidavit form will not be permitted to enter the dance. Please note that it was communicated on the ticket sale page that tennis shoes would not be allowed. That expectation was posted in error and will not be enforced.
We look forward to a well attended and festive spring semi-formal tomorrow night!

Spirit Week
We were excited to have an outstanding Spirit Week here at BBHHS this past week. Our Student Council did an exceptional job organizing Spirit Week themes that had some outstanding participation and hosted a Pep Rally to recognize many of our teams (who also walked the halls at BHHMS) who have participated in State Championships in recent weeks and to announce our Spring Fling Senior Court. The highlight of the week may have been "Anything But a Backpack" or the Jackpot Chicken food truck who was on campus to support our LLS team and put an exclamation point on Spirit Week!

Special Programming at BBHHS This Week
BBHHS has welcomed several guest presenters to the building this week to work with students targeting Portrait of Graduate domains. Mr. Bob Gillingham from FinMango presented to Mr. Mutch's Economics classes the program "How to Become a Millionaire." The program introduces students to investment principles, how to reduce investment fees & taxes, and the types of investment opportunities that exist for all investors regardless of income. FinMango is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization aimed at helping educate young people regarding financial literacy while introducing them to investment concepts and principles. Many students who participated in the seminars reported that they found the presentations highly informative and are now significantly more interested in learning more about investing and how the market works. We are grateful to Mr. Gillingham for spending the week with Mr. Mutch's classes and sharing his program with them.
Skills such as increasing self-awareness, conveying honesty and integrity, modeling practical interpersonal communication skills, and the importance of avoiding blaming, condemning, and criticizing. Our Student Council members also participated in a half-day leadership symposium focused on principles from the Dale Carnegie leadership development program "Develop Your Leadership Potential: Stop Doing, Start Leading." The event was led by Student Council and planned by BBHHS teacher Mr. Jonah Pichette. You can learn more about Dale Carnegie Leadership by selecting this link.
Mr. Brennan hosted Judge Leslie Ann Celebrezze from Cuyahoga Court of Common Pleas - Domestic Relations Court and Judge Deborah NiCastro from the Garfield Heights Municipal Court in his American Legal Systems course. Students were able to hear from both judges regarding their role within the legal system and were able to ask questions about not only how the legal system functions but how they began their careers in law. Thank you to Mr. Brennan for coordinating these presentations for our students.
BBHHS was also home to a Blood Drive in association with the American Red Cross. BBHHS students and families helped to donate blood in what is being described as a significant shortage for one of the first times in American history. Thank you to Mrs. Ferrante for her efforts to coordinate such a large-scale civic project here at BBHHS that will certainly benefit many.

Emergency Evacuation Drill 3/24
Please be aware that on Thursday, March 24th, BBHHS will be conducting an emergency evacuation drill. This type of drill is conducted when needing to release students from the school in an orderly and controlled manner due to inclement weather, power outages, etc. We will be performing this drill in cooperation with the Broadview Heights Police Department and the BBHCSD Safety and Security team leader. The exercise will be conducted as an early staggered release, beginning at 2:25 p.m. We will start by releasing student drivers and car riders first and then dismissing our students who utilize school transportation. Please note that the driveway to the upper staff lot will be closed to car riders, and those families who pick their child up from school should make arrangements to pick up their child along the curb lane and the BBHMS Staff Parking Lot. Students who plan to stay on campus due to after school activities will be required to exit the building at the evacuation time and should report to the unification gathering points that will be communicated directly to students. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we implement this drill to review our plans for potential emergencies.

High School Transportation OPT-IN form Open Through May 30th
Transportation continues to be an important topic as we approach the 2022-2023 school year, and as we have noted in previous correspondences, your help is important. Accordingly, the District is respectfully asking all high school students who will require transportation to OPT-IN for their transportation needs, by filling out a short, but very important survey. You can find that survey here, and also by visiting the Transportation page of our web site. This transportation OPT-IN will be open and available through May 30th. Once again, all high school students requiring transportation next year will be required to OPT-IN with your needs. Thank you for your support and assistance.
