Filmmaker Della Chen & PTSA Speaker Update

The BHS PTSA would like to share our deepest condolences to the Chen-Gilchrist family. Della passed suddenly on February 23 in a tragic car accident. Della was a gifted storyteller, artist community leader full of love, light and joy. Many have reached out asking how they can assist Della’s family. If you would like to contribute there is a Go Fund Me honoring Della and supporting the Chen-Gilchrist Family. ~ Your Ballard High School PTSA
