At the school assembly on Monday, September 14th, the teachers and administrators worked to control the chaos as students made their way to their new seating sections in the gym, assigned by grade. Students could be seen dancing and singing along to “Kokomo”, by the Beach Boys, as it played throughout the speakers in the gym. With the whole school in attendance, they awaited the announcement of the 2009-2010 Mixing Spoons and Homecoming King and Queen candidates.
Will Floersheim and Emily Greely were announced the new Mixing Spoons by Nancy Eiynk, as voted on by the senior class. Floursheim has now been teaching at BHS for three years, and Greely was new to the school this previous year. After being announced, they first introduced the teachers who are new to BHS, then continued to the Homecoming candidates.
