BHG Activities
Field Trips
BHG offers organized as well as information on “go-on-your-own” field trips to our BHG members. Our organized field trips, which we do about once a month, have included a trip to the Holocaust Museum, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra “Symphony Street,” a chocolate factory tour, a hike up Stone Mountain, Atlanta History Center, WSB TV Tour, Wrens Nest, National Weather Service, and Chick-fil-a corporate headquarters.
**All participants are expected to dress and behave modestly and appropriately for the activity. For specific information, please see the by-laws or contact our directors, Joel & Kathy Waggoner at BHG@bbclilburn.org.
Family Activities
Unless otherwise stated, everyone in the family is welcome to attend field trips and parties!
One of the activities we look forward to each year is our fall family picnic. This is a great way to kick off our school year together! We have a great time of food, fun, and fellowship!
This year we will be having our Annual “End of Year Showcase.” This is a chance for the kids to share something they have learned/accomplished throughout the school year as well as a chance for the parents to recognize their children’s achievements. This will also include a kindergarten graduation and recognition of our high school graduates.
