Good morning We are so excited to begin day 61 of our school year. Today is Wednesday November 15th November continues our discussion of Character Counts and steps to be the best person you can be.

Myself and all the teachers care about you all and want to make every day as awesome as we can. We're here to help you have fun, to learn, and to grow. We're here to help you be safe, be healthy, and be happy. Please remember that most mornings are going to be pretty chilly for the next 3 or 4 months, so everyone should remember to bring their coats/jackets as well as hats and gloves.

I like to take my 1949 Dodge Coronet to car shows with my family. 🚗🚘🚦 If you weren’t doing your current job, what other job would you want to do? I would be a secretary or assistant for someone important like a mayor or lawyer. 📝💼 What is a fun fact about you? I have a rottweiler named Daisy Dukes! 🐶 We are so glad to have you here at BHES, Mrs. Dukes! Thank you for bringing your positive energy to our students each day!
