School store opens soon
Students learn business and management skills
It's time to don, and time to learn! Business is coming to the school. After a successful pilot program, the school store is set to open its doors to students soon. The store will offer a variety of items, including school supplies, snacks, and other essentials. Students will have the opportunity to learn about business management, including inventory control, sales, and customer service. The school store is a great way for students to gain hands-on experience in a real-world setting. It also provides a convenient way for students to purchase necessary items during the school day. The school store is expected to be a great addition to the school community.
BHS students chosen to study abroad
Senior Katize Heinze and Chrissy Gessel have been chosen to the 1999-2000 Rotary International exchange program. Writing an essay and two interviews, the two were among a group of traveling students studying a foreign language and building friendships. The program covers all expenses, including food. Both of them need to apply for and know how to be abroad.
"We have thought about this for a long time," they said. "We are so happy all of the things we wanted to do will be aware. We will be submerged in an unfamiliar environment, so we will make the most of it."
The students are given a choice of living in about 50 countries. Their traveling expenses, tuition, fees, food and board are fully covered by the Rotary Organization. Each student is given a choice between either Turkey or Senegal and has decided on those.
"I haven't taken any Spanish," Heinze said.

Police Resource Officer hired
Initially, BHS has received a grant allowing the opening of a position for a police officer at the city of Buffalo as a patrol officer.
Andrewson will be working regular school hours, but he will work during school hours and extracurricular activities. He will be able to help with many of the problems students face. "I am excited to be a learning experience for me," said Andrewson.
The first thing that Andrewson is planning to do is meeting with students and parents to answer any questions about his job. It is important for him to build trust with the community.
"I am hoping that the students will be able to become comfortable talking to me," said Andrewson. "I want to be a resource for them."
Andrewson, a 1998 graduate of BHS, was hired for the position of PFO. He is a graduate of Manzanito State University, Andrewson.

There are 50 countries, which the Rotary numbers communicate with to set up all of the students that go to other countries will always have a Rotary number to call them with.
"I would strongly encourage students to try out this program. The Rotarians are able to tell the students that they are very helpful and welcoming to them."

You can't go back...
but that never stopped anyone from trying
I say, you may not know, but I salute you. Why resist the new although it is in the power of the world? You can shape and inspire, you can change and create. During my Winter Break, I visited BHS to walk the halls, again, as I did when I was a student of "hello," as I was, and I missed being here.
I missed walking from class to the dining hall and building a home. I missed the sound of the bells, the laughter in the halls, the morning ice on the windows. I missed being able to go into the office and lay an idea on the table and see it become a reality. I missed the feeling of being part of something bigger than myself.
As a student, I thought I knew everything. I thought I knew what the world was like and what I wanted to do with my life. But as I grew older, I realized that I didn't know anything at all. I realized that the world is much bigger and more complex than I ever imagined, and that there is so much more to learn and experience.
And so, I am back. I am back to learn, to grow, and to try again. I am back to face the challenges and the opportunities that lie ahead. I am back to find my way in this world, and to make my mark on it.
I may not know where I am going, but I know that I am on my way. And I know that I will never stop trying.
Welcome for newspaper
During the start of the year, the Bison Stampede will be going through some changes. Because of that, students may notice some changes. Because of our staff, we are working on an independent newspaper. Our staff writers are constantly working on stories, and we are working on making the Bison Stampede the best it can be. We want to provide our readers with news, information, and entertainment that is relevant and interesting to them. We want to be a voice for the students and a source of information for the community. We want to be a newspaper that people can rely on for accurate and unbiased news. We want to be a newspaper that people enjoy reading. We want to be a newspaper that makes a difference. We are excited to begin this new chapter and we look forward to seeing what the future holds for the Bison Stampede.
St. Valentine: how it all started
When you think of blushing red roses, rich chocolate candy or the soft whisper of "the love you" say, what comes to mind? Why Valentine's Day, of course! But is that all Valentine's Day ever was?
Despite some people's misconceptions, Valentine's Day wasn't because a winged baby in a diaper flew around shooting golden arrows at people, making them fall in love.
" Cupid began targeting people on February 14, shooting many people with arrows of love. Everyone fell in love with everybody else and started smooching," said Seymour Leeds.
Valentine's Day also wasn't started simply to give sweethearts a special day to show their love for one another. In truth, it is the season for romance theory.
" I think that Valentine's Day was started to people to show the people they love how much they care for them," said junior Kate Kothre.
Many people pattern that the word "saint" goes hand-in-hand with the holiday, which actually meant Saint Valentine. Valentine was a pagan priest living during the Roman persecution against Christians. Although not Christian himself, he was against the Roman torture.
Even though Christians was a serious crime. Valentine secretly protected believers and was then sent to prison. His stay would have been short, but he became a Christian and was sentenced to death.
Valentine thought of loves ones during his days, and they were forbidden to. He discovered a way to send them messages. Each Valentine would squeeze his arms through his window bars to reach the violets growing outside, and pierced a heart-shaped leaf and pierced it with a message "like Remember your Valentine."
Valentine would send messages by way of homing pigeons supplied by his family. When the end of his life nears, he was then clubbed to death.
The beginning of Valentine's Day is pretty far off from the sweetheart day now celebrated, but every February 14, St. Valentine, and his valentine's are brought back in the giving of love to those you care about the most. Even though his story may not known, his tradition continues.
Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day?
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date;
Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest.
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Who says you're like one of the dog days?
You're niece. And better.
Even in May, the weather can be gray,
And a summer sub-let doesn't last forever.
Sometimes the sun too hot:
Sometimes it is not.
Who can stay going forever?
People think they're necks or just drop dead:
But you? Never!
If there is just one condenser left
Who can figure the abridged alphabet,
After you're dead and gone,
In this poem you'll live on!
Howard Moss

A Movie Review
By Tony Reais
I left to get another Super Bowl ticket, so I got to see the game with some of the girls. They made me sit in the middle, just as Zach makes a bet with them. So, the boys have plenty of chances before they can settle in for the game.
She's All That
It's a classic romantic comedy that is sure to entertain. The film follows the story of a popular girl who falls for an unpopular boy. The chemistry between the two leads is palpable, and the film is filled with laugh-out-loud moments. It's a heartwarming and delightful movie that is perfect for a movie night with friends or family. I highly recommend it!

Since the moment we met, when you first offered me your embrace, I felt like I could hold for a million years! We have made many memories in the past two years that won't be forgotten. Yet, that is the past and now we have the future together.
Love, Jill
To: Mr. Walsh
You are the root of the tree and the spirit of the tree, You threaten the nests of sparrow hawks as well as the nests of sparrows. Larger than our combined breath, you illustrate yourself with whitecaps and dust storms. Hurricane and Blizzard. You are also the whisper that we do not hear as we fetch and drone in our flagship cloud chaser, shaper of the earth we stand on, teach us to heed slight ripples from zephyr to stone. Thank you for everything Mr. Walsh!
Happy Valentines Day!
