Centennial Celebration & Homecoming festivities a community success

Thank you for attending and being involved

Thank you all for attending and participating in BH-BL’s Centennial celebration and Homecoming festivities. It was exciting to see the community come together to celebrate this momentous occasion and become a part of our district’s history.

The day was a huge success thanks to the many staff members, residents, community groups, students, and alumni who volunteered countless hours and worked diligently to ensure the district’s centennial celebration was festive and memorable.

A special thank you also to community member and parent Daniel Roos for donating the Leslie RS3L train horn he refurbished specifically to serve as the “BH-BL Victory Horn.” Many thanks also to CBM Fabrications, AJ Signs, and Burnt Hills Upholstery for their help with this project.

It is at these celebratory events that we can take a moment to reflect on the accomplishments that have occurred in our district and be grateful to everyone who supported BH-BL over the past 100 years. Thank you for being a part of BH-BL’s past, present and future.
