How our Teen Program operates:
Our Teen Program is for students grade 7 through 12 and, like the rest of BHEA, is entirely run by volunteers. We look to our parents and teens to plan and organize our Teen Activities. The goal is to have at least one monthly activity for Teens, but there are typically many more than that. Have an idea for an activity? First, check with the Teen Activity Coordinator (Leigh Laney) to make sure that noone else is already working on the same thing. (If they are, maybe you could volunteer to help.) After Miss Leigh gives you the go-ahead, ask a parent to check the Adult Loop Calendar to make sure the date you want is clear and ask them to post your event. You will be responsible to post your event on the Teen Loop and for gathering sign-ups and payment. You may find our regular Field Trip Check List helpful in planning. Remember, the BHEA Dress and Behavior Codes apply to all BHEA events. Refer to the BHEA Handbook with any questions.
Teen Liaison:
New for 2007-08 school year! Michaela Pruitt has been chosen by the teens as their representative. Teens should pass along ideas for activities, policies, etc., or questions to Michaela at teenliaison@bhea.net. Teens should also feel free to bring ideas directly to the Council at council@bhea.net.
Teen Loop:
All BHEA Teens are encouraged to sign up for the BHEA Teen Loop. This is where you can keep up with your friends and learn about Teen activities. Lots of good ideas are born on the Teen Loop! Parents can be assured of your safety, as this loop is always moderated by a BHEA Parent and each participant's membership in BHEA is verified upon initiation of the process to join.
BHEA Yearbook Staff:
All BHEA Teens are invited to assist LaDonna Covert in the production of the BHEA Yearbook. A free class will be given at the noon hour of Monday Fun for high school students interested in producing BHEA’s 2007-8 yearbook from start to finish. Participants will work on all aspects of production, including layout and design, gathering ads, generating sales, and more. Students should be committed to working hard and to participating in this class both semesters.
What is being planned for Teens in 2007-08?:
- A Christmas Party is planned for December 15th. Contact Mrs. Bacon or Mrs. Zinser with questions.
- A "Final Formal" Dance is planned for the spring for Grades 9-12 (or students at least 14 years of age). This will be preceded by several months of dance lessons (not required, but lots of fun!).
- A BHEA High School Graduation Ceremony will take place at Maryville Church of Christ on May 16, 2008. Questions? Please contact LaDonna Covert.
