A U G U S T 2 5 , 2 0 1 7
We were happy to welcome our new and returning students to this
exciting school year at BDCHS. We celebrate our 8th consecutive
“A” grade and seek ways to continuously improve.
The strong start to this school year began with students and fami-
lies participating in Open Houses and Freshmen Orienta-
tion. The dedication of our staff and parent volunteers made it all
possible.
One goal that we have this year is to increase student leadership opportunities and
student self responsibility through Advisory, Research courses, and Student Clubs
such as Student Government Association (SGA).
As a member of the BDCHS community, you are an integral part of student success.
We thank you if you have paid the technology fee and/or donated supplies or your
time. It is going to be another terrific year where our students will soar to new heights!
Your Proud Principal,
Kristine Bennett

Journalism Students Taking Over Phoenix News
Mrs. Catania and her Journalism students are pleased to announce that they
will be taking on the Phoenix News for the 2017—2018 school year. The new
Phoenix News team will be compromised of a lead editor, a technology spe-
cialist, a photography specialist, a writing specialist, and a communications
specialist. Journalism students had the choice to be interviewed for any of
these positions or positions on the yearbook team. Interviews were conducted
by Mrs. Catania and previous Journalism teacher Ms. Serra this week in class.
Students will receive their job placements next week and jump head first into
making their creative visions into remarkable new innovations.

Straight from the Phoenix Action Crew WELCOME TO THE PHOENIX ACTION CREW, AKA – the PAC!
This is FREE to all BDCHS families, so there’s no cost to join.
PAC’s Mission is to bring BDCHS families, faculty/staff, and community part-
ners together through volunteer opportunities which help strengthen the school com-
munity and provide participation in our students’ education and activities.
The PAC is key to strengthening the school community. Its efforts include fa-
cilitating communication between school and home serving as a means for helping parents/families to actively
participate in their children's education and school. Opportunities include coordinating and volunteering for
activities and events such as luncheons and breakfasts for both students and faculty, BDCHS Teach-In, PAC
educational meetings, just to name a few.
Parents and families are encouraged to get involved; there are many ways to go about doing this, and they
can be involved as little or as much as they want to and can.
IF you are not already registered to receive SignUpGenius (SUG) requests, then we encourage you to do so.
All you need to do is send an email to [email protected] with your request. Once your email is
registered, you will begin receiving communications about volunteer opportunities and special requests for
items needed for classrooms, events, testing, and so much more.
As you can see, you're not alone! We want to help you through these 'special years' of your student's
life. Again, WELCOME TO THE PAC!!! It’s going to be an AMAZING YEAR!!
