This is in addition to our many other excellent curricular and extracurricular programs at the school.

BSS Attends Local Hunger Games Premiere
Students at Bayside Secondary School attended an advance screening of the movie The Hunger Games on Friday, March 23. The book version of this three-part series is popular with boys, girls and adults. It is about a young woman who lives in a post apocalyptic world and who is forced to compete to the death in order to win a year’s worth of food for her district. The 88 students are in Grades 9 to 12. Some are studying the influence of media ownership and exploring the concept of reality television in their media class. They have produced this short film featuring students and staff who dressed like characters from the novel or who showed enthusiasm with their homemade shirts. Others are in the White Pine Reading Club and will be discussing whether the film is an accurate portrayal of the book at their next meeting.
Sorority Donation
Bayside would like to thank the members of Trenton's Preceptor Zeta Beta Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi. In December, by donating presents, these ladies helped ensure that Christmas would be a special time for one of our families going through a tough time. At their January meeting, the ladies brought hygiene items and gave them to Bayside so that those students who find purchasing such necessaries on a tight budget to be difficult, would not have to go without. The items will be used to create "girl bags" that will be available through the library. Donations such as these remind us that Bayside is fortunate to be surrounded by such generous communities.
