News and Notes for Brandon High School for the Week of May 7, 2018
 
 
Teacher Appreciation:  On Thursday, May 10th we will be celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week with a luncheon for all of our teaching staff at Brandon High School.  We are asking any parents or community members to consider bringing in a dish to help celebrate this day.  Please drop off any items to BHS by 10:30 a.m.  If you could RSVP to Nancy Dery so that we know we will have enough food that would be great.  She can be reached at ndery@brandon.k12.mi.us or at 248-627-1822.  Thank you so much for your support!
 
Drugs / Opioids:  Brandon High School in conjunction with St. Joseph Mercy Hospital is pleased to be able to bring our parents and community a presentation on teenage drug use.  Please consider joining us for this very insightful evening on May 14th at 6:30.  Please see the attached flyer for more details.
