September 15 – Our Constitutional announcement today is about Article III. This

article is about the Judicial branch. Our founding fathers created the Supreme

Court and left the creation of lower courts to the legislative branch. The Supreme

Court is the highest court in the country and interprets the Constitution. Justices

reach the Supreme Court after being appointed by the president and approved by

the Senate. Tomorrow we will learn about the remaining articles in the

Constitution.

September 16 – Our last Constitutional announcement this week is about Articles

4-7. Article 4 explains the relationship between the national government and the

states and relationships between the states. Article 5 explains how the Constitution

can be amended. Article 6 states that the Constitution is the supreme law of the

land and Article 7 states the Constitution becomes law after is ratified by 9 of the

13 states. The Constitution became law in 1789 and has only 27 amendments have

FROM THE DESK OF THE PRINCIPAL:

September 12 – Constitution Day and Citizenship Day are observed each year on

September 17 to commemorate the signing of the Constitution which took place on

September 17, 1787, and “recognize all who, by coming of age or by

naturalization, have become citizens.”

In 2004, Congress added two requirements in commemoration of this day, one of

which stated that each educational institution which receives federal funds hold a

program for students every September 17. To meet this requirement, we will be

sharing information about the Constitution during the announcements this week.

Do you think that every student here at Bonny Eagle High School should feel safe, welcome,
and respected for who they are?  The Civil Rights Team does.  But, we know that in every school
community, there are things that happen so that not all students feel this way. 

This is a problem, but you can be a part of the solution.  You can join the BEHS Civil Rights Team! 

We believe that bias, prejudice, and hate have no place in our school.  We can do better than that!  We can celebrate our differences and work together to create the kind of school community we all
want, where everyone truly belongs.

If this sounds like something you might want to be a part of, please contact Mrs. Hayden for more information OR join us on Tuesdays after school in room 308. 

Thank you!  The Civil Rights Team looks forward to working with all of you this year!
