Attention all parents of BHS students who will be playing on a Freshman, JV or Varsity Sports Team this fall:

 

  • The Mandatory Fall Sports Night will be held on Wednesday, September 7th at 6:45 PM in the Roberts and Dubbs Auditorium at BHS;  this event will include
      • Review of BHS Chemical Health policies
      • Presentation by Dr. Neal McGrath, BHS’ consulting Neuropsychologist and an expert in sports-related concussions.  Dr. McGrath will review BHS’s new Concussion Management Program and the State’s new sports related concussion legislation – this event is mandatory for all student-athletes, their parents and coaches.

  • Brookline Public Access Television (BATV channel 3 on Comcast and RCN) will be filming varsity games of many of the Fall Sports.  These sports programs will be available for viewing and download at www.batv.org.  BATV is looking for student volunteers to assist in these broadcasts and will pay $20 for BHS students  who are willing to provide color commentary.  This is a fun, low pressure opportunity for BHS students interested in some camera face time to try out their hand in the  sports broadcasting world.      

  • Parent Team Representatives are needed for every sport to serve as liaisons between BHS Coaches and Parents – the job of the Parent Team Rep is to try to facilitate communication between coaches and parents of team members;  There will be a sign up sheet at the Fall Sports Night event or you can sign up by e-mailing PTO Sports Liaison – Joel Sklar – at jsklar@samuelsre.com.  

  • Please sign up to be on the BHS PTO Sports E-mail list– we will keep you updated with important announcements and updates on the Wide World of BHS Sports.

Friends of Performing Arts (FoPA)Friends of Performing Arts (FoPA) is a volunteer parent group dedicated to supporting BHS’s rich array of performing arts activities. Our goal is to ensure that dance, drama, music and stagecraft remain a vital component of our children’s education.

 

The committee meets only four times a year, and activities range from ushering and selling tickets/refreshments at performances to building awareness of BHS’ arts offerings and advocating for sustained public funding for the arts in Brookline.

 

Please join us in keeping BHS a community that supports the vibrant spirit of creative expression through the performing arts. For more information or to volunteer to be a part of this lively group, contact Karen Campbell at 617.739.0873 or kcampbell@brooklinema.gov.
