Or Hadash Award

OR HADASH (NEW LIGHT) AWARD

 “Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

Voltaire

BHDS is tremendously grateful to the many volunteers on both of our campuses who keep our community strong and help our school programs and events run smoothly. The Or Hadash Award honors and acknowledges the importance of volunteerism at our school. 

Each year, parents, faculty, and staff are invited and encouraged to nominate one or more deserving individuals for the Or Hadash (New Light) Award.  This award is administered by the Parent Associations, and presented annually by the BHDS Board of Trustees to an outstanding parent on each campus who gives freely and generously of her or his time to the school community and serves as a model of volunteerism. A nominee from each campus is presented with the Or Hadash at the Annual Board Meeting and Community Celebration in June.

Please take the time to help us identify the priceless parent volunteers in our midst. Together with your help we can acknowledge their contributions. Nominations must be submitted by end of day, March 22, to be considered.
