Good morning from Senior Sunrise for the BWHS Class of 2025!
We can't wait to see you Wednesday! Before you hit the road, read this message from our friends at Bentonville Police: Slow down, stay off your phones, and if you're in an accident, call the police. We're grateful for their work to keep bus riders, cyclists and walkers safe!
Reminder! New Student Orientation is from 9:00-12:00 tomorrow. Students can enter through the main entrance. Our student leaders have been working hard to guarantee a fun and memorable experience. We hope to see you tomorrow!
All students that are new to West (9th grade and new to the area) are invited to attend orientation on Monday, August 12 from 9:00-12:00.
Students will learn all about Bentonville West from those that know it best: our students! All students attending this event will receive a free West t-shirt and lunch courtesy of our friends at Flintco and Arvest Bank.

Congratulation to BWHS/Virtual teacher Kembra Mathis, who was recently inducted in the Arkansas Athletic Trainers Association Hall of Fame! Her dedication to her students, athletes, and the field of athletic training make her more than worthy of the honor!
Last month, rising sophomore Cami Gonzalez competed in a nationally recognized Junior Pickleball competition in Texas and won in both Singles and Mixed.
At BWHS, Cami plays varsity tennis, but she’s representing Arkansas pickeball well! Congratulations Cami!
Class of 2023 graduate Dawson Price, who played Wovlerine baseball and basketball, was a 20th round draft pick by the Detroit Tigers last week! Congratulations, Dawson!
The Summer of Service program came to a close with students working with the Bentonville Parks and Recreation Arborist Geoff Braga to learn about the importance of tree preservation and care. This week, students also visited The Pack Shack, Helping Hands, and made dog/cat toys for Best Friends Animal Rescue.
Thank you to all of our Summer of Service participants and the community service partners that made the program possible.
Students from BHS/BWHS acquired over 1,500 service hours and experienced, first hand, the value of giving back to the community. We truly are better together!
Get rewarded for working on free online prep courses this summer! See winners from June on the second slide. More winners will be announced in July!

The Bentonville Schools Foundation recently presented assistant principal Sarah Merayo and college and career counselor Rebecca Camarigg with Excellence in Education recognition from the Higman family. We are thankful for the hard work these two do to support our students, and the amazing support the Foundation provides to our school.
The damage to so many of our beautiful parks was devastating, but our BHS/BWHS Summer of Service students are here to help! They worked all morning Thursday at Orchards Park cleaning up debris and moving limbs in partnership with the Bentonville Parks and Recreation Department. We truly are better together!
Summer of Service participants went to Helping Hands to sort donations and learn about the many wonderful services Helping Hands has to offer. From their community garden and food pantry to their low-cost thrift store, their mission is to “help break the cycle of poverty and provide hope for a better future.”

It's hard to think about blankets in the summer, but area shelters have a need year-round. Summer of Service participants were hard at work making fleece tie blankets to donate to area shelters. These students also took some time to write letters for "Operation Gratitude," thanking active service members and veterans.
It's not too late to register for one of our many service opportunities throughout the summer! Visit https://tinyurl.com/5akmvtrb to learn more.
