The BHIS PTA funds many great programs including the guest teacher programs that bring native Spanish-speaking and Mandarin-speaking teachers to our school to teach in their native languages. The PTA also provides funds for new library books for our students, after-school enrichment programs and community-building events. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!
