Table rentals are $30, with fees going to the BHIS Parent Teacher Association, but vendors keep the proceeds from the items they sell.

For more information or to get a vendor registration form, visit the BHIS website or contact Bazaar Coordinator John Shaw at johnshawtoo@hotmail.com.

The Seattle school district has been awarded grants totaling $5.76 million over three years for three schools under the School Improvement Grant program, including Cleveland High School on Beacon Hill. The three-year grants, awarded by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) with funding from the federal stimulus package, will support school improvement plans at Cleveland as well as at Hawthorne and West Seattle elementary schools.

The additional resources will be used to support the transformation of Cleveland High School into a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) school.

Here is a fact sheet about Cleveland’s plan.
