3rd Graders on CNN
BHS 3rd graders have been seen on CNN. They participated in CNN's nation-wide program "Dear Mr. President" in which students wrote letters to President-elect Obama and read them aloud on camera. BHS parent and CNN photojournalist Damir Loretic found out about the program at CNN, pitched the idea that BHS students get involved, and recorded the children reading their letters. Students asked the new president to address issues such as the environment, the economy, drugs, food prices, and the war in Iraq. Damir said that CNN was so impressed with our students' letters, that several were used on air and online. Thanks to Damir's efforts, our students' good work wad seen worldwide. Watch CNN Clip
