Be on the lookout for BRONCO BUCKS!
Did you know you can be a lucky gift card winner for simply demonstrating positive character traits at school?
Teachers are handing out Bronco Bucks to students who demonstrate assets such as Caring, Cooperation, Confidence, Commitment to Excellence, Good Judgement, Honesty, Helping Others, Reliability, Responsibility, or Respect. If a teacher sees that you have demonstrated one of these assets they might award you with a BRONCO BUCK! Bring this Bronco Buck to the BH office and you will be entered into a raffle to win a Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, or Amazon gift card! There are THREE student winners every week so it's never too late to show your teachers how many of these assets you have. And your chances of winning are pretty good because we will be selecting winners all throughout the school year. We've already had 6 student winners. We will also be doing a raffle for teachers to win once a month for a $50.00 Amazon purchase for acknowledging the good traits of the students and handing out these BRONCO BUCKS !! Good luck!
Donation Drive
The Bret Harte Community Club is delighted to announce that we have exceeded our donation drive budget for the 2021-2022 school year! We would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to everyone who was able to help us meet our goal! Through these kind donations and corporate match amounts, we have raised over $65,000 for our Bret Harte students, teachers, and staff.
The funds will be spent over the course of the school year on the following: technology, books, parent education events, safety/emergency prep, staff appreciation, PEST, Cornerstone, Everyday Heroes, Career Day, Cultural Fair, and Bronco Nights. The BHCC Board is also researching new programs to bring to your students and we hope to announce these in early 2022. Please note that it is never too late to donate to the Community Club. We accept contributions all year long through Pay Pal, Zelle, and check. Any amount is greatly appreciated.
If you contributed to BHCC in 2021 and would like a tax donation letter, please contact our donation drive chair as soon as possible at: [email protected]. Letters will be emailed to donors for printing upon request.
Thank you again for helping BHCC reach and surpass our donation drive goal!
On December 15th, 2021, the Bret Harte Community Club provided a Boxed Lunch for the school teachers and staff. Erik’s Deli Cafe catered the lunch and provided sandwiches and salads. Each staff member was able to put in their personalized order. The lunches came with chips, a cookie, orange and a drink. The BHCC Staff Appreciation leads were able to be there for
setup and validated that all orders were accounted for.
The lunch was our thank you to the Bret Harte Staff for great first semester of the 2021-2022 school year.
