'Tis Almost the Season- BHS is Aware

No, we are not talking football or Christmas but we are rather speaking of hunting season---hunting season is almost here.  A preliminary report states that in 2011, 13.7 million people went hunting. Hunters spent $34 billion on trips, equipment, licenses, gas, food and other necessities to hunt. Participants spent an average of $2,484 per hunter. 

According to the International Hunter Education Association, approximately 1,000 people in the US and Canada are accidentally shot by hunters every year, and just under a hundred of those accidents are fatalities. Most victims are hunters, but non-hunters are also sometimes killed or injured. Although some other forms of recreation cause more fatalities, hunting is one of the few activities that endangers the entire community, and not just the willing participants. 

Our desire is for all who will, enjoy what God has given and be safe. Pictured below are FFA students at BHS passing out hunter safety information to fans as they enter the gate at last Friday's football game verses Florala.  Thank you  students for making us more aware.

HHS Teachers Decipher Data

All across Crenshaw County, teachers are engaged in meaningful professional development aimed at improving instruction and student achievement.  The premise for all such discussion begins with data or as Mrs. Ash says "where are you" (for if you know not where you are how will you ever get to where you are going). Notice the array of the looks of our educators below as they determine where we are and where we are going.  Know your students first then teach away!  GO TEACHERS!
