Join Parliament for Spirit Week - February 8th - 12th!
A THANK YOU FROM THE BFHE STAFF: Thanks to your generous donations from the November Parent Teacher Conferences, we were able to fill our staff lounge with goodies this week!!! The teachers and staff THANK YOU for the great surprise and appreciate all of you! THANK YOU: Food Pantry Fill Up and Warm Clothing Donation For Our Buddy School (Dec 2020) On behalf of PTCO and Student Parliament, I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all those who participated in our food and warm clothes drive. We definitely filled the pantry! Our community donated two trucks worth of food. Approximately, 150 families will benefit from your generosity. As for the warm clothing drive, you exceeded our expectations. We will donate 4 truckloads worth of clothes and boots to our buddy school! They will be hosting a drive by shop to help clothe their families for winter.
On Saturday, November 28th from 10 am-12pm, Parliament and PTCO are partnering to give back to our community. Please consider participating in our drive-through donation event for our highly at-risk Buddy School in Denver and help us fill Eastern Hills Market Place. Our Denver Buddy School needs warm winter wear and would greatly appreciate the underclothes necessary for Colorado Winters. If you have gently used coats, hoodies, snow pants, scarves, mittens, gloves, or boots in any size from infant to adult, please bring them over! We are also asking for new, in package, undershirts, underpants, and socks in all sizes. The teachers will be distributing them to needy families on home visits. The PTCO would like to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to all of the families who participated in our Butter Braid sale! We raised just over $2,600 for BFHE! Thank you for helping us raise so much dough. We appreciate you! Click here for an animated Thank You!

MAKE-A-WISH and SPIRIT WEEK at BFHE was 1/27 through 1/31/2020. Students voted for their favorite color throughout the week by bringing in dollars to fill the bucket of their favorite color. The color that raised the most money was worn by everyone on Friday, January 31st! The winning color was BLUE!  UPDATE: Thank you so much to the BFHE community! We raised $3,200 for Make-A-Wish during our Wish Week in January.
We are so excited to
finally introduce you to JULIAN!
He is a 10 year-old boy who received a bone marrow transplant to fight leukemia
and his wish is to go to Nintendo
World in Japan! Some of Julian's favorite things are pizza,
Kit-Kats, rap music, fast cars, and the movie “Fast and Furious”! He also loves
riding scooters, playing soccer, and Super Mario. We are so excited to help
make Julian's wish come true! WINTER BREAK FOOD DRIVE UPDATE: From the BFHE Staff: We are so humbled by all the generosity that we have seen this holiday season with Backpacks for the Homeless and, most recently, our canned food drive. We received over 1250 non-perishable items that we donated to a local food bank that ultimately went to support over 60 families. Thank you for all that you do for our school and community!  ***The PTCO would like to THANK all of our wonderful parent volunteers and sponsors for your assistance with Trunk or Treat, the Book Fair, and Teacher Conference Dinners. Without your help, all of these events over the past few weeks would not have been successful. THANK YOU!!! Trunk or Treat Update: We had 29 donated trunks this year between our sponsors, families, and BFHE staff. Everyone did an amazing job with their decorations and costumes (see below for pictures - Click to enlarge). This year's event was the biggest yet and a HUGE success!
THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for BFHE's 1st Daughter’s Dance!!!   |
