Dessert Donations for Door Decorating Contest

The annual BHS Winter Door Decorating Contest is underway, and the Culture, Community, and Self (CCS) classes are hard at work bringing lots of creativity to the halls. We’ve got all the supplies covered, and now we’re assembling dessert platters for the top six winning classes on December 15.

If you’d like to contribute, please check the dessert list and sign up.

Thanks for supporting our students and helping spread the winter spirit! ❄️
 
Fill the Library Shelves!

Help Fill BHS Library Shelves!

Bainbridge Schools Foundation is raising funds to refresh library collections at all seven schools. Many shelves need new, engaging books that reflect student interests, celebrate diverse voices, and support a wide range of reading levels.

Families can choose to support Bainbridge High School directly or select “Fill Every Shelf” to make a greatest-need gift. Every contribution helps bring new books into our libraries and into the hands of students.

Here’s what your gift can do:
• $10 adds a new book
• $50 builds a small stack
• $100 creates a book bundle
• $250 fills a library shelf
 

Book Fines and Fee Based Classes

BOOK FINES: Please help us keep our book inventories stocked and up to date by returning all missing materials. 
The online payment site lists overdue items as fines that will automatically be removed when items (returned in good condition) are scanned in at the library or paid for through the payment site.

FEE BASED CLASSES - Please check the online payment site to review and pay fees related to Science, Art, AP and Band classes
