Saturday, August 30th, 2008: The BHSN Habitat chapter has just started there 8th house in its 8th year. This year’s house is being presented to Leslie Long of Bloomington. Leslie has 3 children and is excited to build and eventually move into her new house. The house is located 3758 S. Walter Ave on the West side past Karst Farm Park on highway 45.

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008: The BHSN Habitat chapter has nearly completed another successful year. In our continuing effort, we have co-sponsored, completed, and dedicated another Habitat home to a partner family. Also, our Evening for Habitat, despite a devastating blizzard, was a success as the community weathered the storm and came out to show their support. We raised over $22,000. BHSN Habitat would like to thank all those who supported the auction. We couldn’t fight sub-standard housing without you.

Monday, November 19th, 2007: The BHSN Habitat volunteers have completed our annual rake-a-thon, raising money for our Habitat funds. We would like to thank the Portle family for contributing to our charitable cause. Also, we are approaching our dedication date of December 15th, when we finish our 8th house and dedicate it to new homeowner Maria Carter. Habitat members, please contribute your dues for dedication gifts!

Mission Statement:

The BHSN chapter for habitat for humanity serves as an institution which gives high school students an opportunity to collectively work to eradicate sub-standardized housing. Through the investment of their time into bettering their own community, the BHSN Habitat chapter enables its volunteers to realize the importance of charity and giving. At Bloomington High School North,  the habitat chapter is more than just putting up roofs; it’s a place where the student volunteers discover their abilities to become the leaders of our tomorrow.

 

 

BHSN Habitat began its 8th house in its 8th year on August 30th, 2008.
