BHS was very fortunate to have Mr. Watters' Grade 12 Leadership class visit to introduce and teach a variety of different dances to our middle and elementary students. They were a very energetic and profession group of high school students and definitely showed their leadership abilities to our students. Thank you very much Mr. Watters and MVHS students. You both showed our students a great time and we got lots of exercise at the same time!
