Dear Bernheim Community,
The Holiday Season is here, and excitement is in the air! December is such a fun time at school, with festive activities, holiday performances, and chances to spread kindness and cheer. Our music program will have its Holiday Concert at 6:00 pm on Thursday! Come out and enjoy the students' hard work.
It’s also a great time to reflect on all the good things this year has brought and to think about ways we can give back to others. We are so proud of BRUIN Nation and the whole Bernheim Community. We have surpassed our goal of 1500 items for the food drive and are well on our way to 3000! Go Bruins! We’re looking forward to making the most of these last few days of 2024 together.
Next week is SPIRIT WEEK please see below for the spirit days that students helped choose!
