• A 5th grade trip to the symphony
• New soccer goals for student use during recess and P.E.
• A field trip for our ILC - special or severe needs -  students to the Denver Children’s Museum
• $11,000 for overall classroom improvements, including supplies for specials teachers, ILC, and preschool, such as specialized seating and other classroom materials
• $4,000 from our Scholastic Book Fair, which supported the purchase of new library materials and the repair of existing books
• $2,000 in staff hospitality during conference weeks and staff appreciation days
• Nearly $1,500 in startup costs for our PBIS program (known to students as OWLS)
• Funding for community events, including the Back-to-School Night BBQ, Trunk or Treat, Holiday Shop, Winter Wonderland Dance, Makers Night and Movie Night.
• We are in the early stages of construction for an outdoor learning space at BFHE based on a community vote and teacher feedback.  Please check back for updates and see the proposed rendering of the space below.
