BHS Friday Folder
May 4, 2012
|
Beginning Monday, May 7, traffic on Old Fort Road will be reduced to one lane as contractors begin construction for sidewalk installation. Most school buses that use Old Fort Road will be detoured.
Many children from all three schools use that road to walk to and from home. With the addition of construction equipment and vehicles, it will be even more congested. Please use extreme caution if you choose to drive on Old Fort Road. Detouring around that road would be preferable. Please remind your children who walk on that road to be extra cautious during this phase of construction.

The MSG Varsity Academic Challenge faced a formidable obstacle in the quarterfinal round of the competition, facing Morristown-Beard. The BHS lineup of seniors Matthew Goldman, Adam Rosenstein, Julianna St.Onge, and Saranya Thurairatnam, and junior Kathryn Levin were locked
in a close battle through the first four rounds - so close, that the final score was a tie. When that occurs, the competition rules stipulate that there is a one-question elimination question. The team's alternate, Kathryn, heard the question and provided the fastest response, allowing the team to advance to the semifinals. The semifinal round will air on Thursday, May 12 at 6:30pm on MSG, with re-airings on Saturday and Sunday on NJ12.
