SELL Crew is an organization at BHS whose main purpose is to help create a welcoming environment for new students to BHS. We train over 70 juniors and seniors each August to run an orientation to welcome our freshmen and new students on the first day of school. In addition, SELL Crew leaders volunteer to lead new students on tours through the building and host freshman Advisory PRIDES and Check In sessions throughout the year to maintain that welcoming link to our building. If you would like to be part of this important organization for the next school year, fill out an application today. Forms are due this Friday! Current SELL Crew members should still fill out the application. Email Mrs. Zimmerman or Mrs. Cleppe with any questions!
