Great job to the winning classrooms quiz bowl teams of Moore (6th), Farnell (7th), and Pilewski (8th). These teams competed the last couple of months in matches verses other classes. Special thanks to PTSA for organizing and running the matches.

Congratulations also go out to Mrs. Lambrix’s class for winning the COUNTY quiz bowl for our ISD students.

We are now practicing for our all-star 6th, 7th, & 8th grade teams for the county competition. Good luck competitors.

Happy Almost First Day Of Spring

Happy Almost Spring!

What a beautiful day!  Spring is in the air and a lot is happening at BJHS.  Please keep your eyes focused on the Community Education Department for wonderful spring activities.
Our spring 7th & 8th grade sports are starting soon.  Track and Softball start today.  Please make sure that your child has a sports physical for the 2011/12 school year and that your child has a G.P.A. of at least a 2.0.
We are currently planning a field day for our 6th graders in May.  More details will follow.
I have always helped out at track meets at BPS and one of my favorite things to do is standing at the top of the bleachers.  This allows me to watch track. baseball, and see tennis and softball in the distance.  We have wonderful facilities at BPS, so please get outside and enjoy.

End of Term 2

Happy End Of Term 2!
Term 2 ends this Thursday.  Students will have exams for 7th & 8th graders on Wednesday and Thursday.  Grades will be posted on HAC by early next week. School will be a half day on Thursday.  We will be having a Teacher Professional Development Day on Friday, so students get to stay at home.  I also hope to see you at the SHS for the Bedford Trade Fair this weekend. 
A few things to remember in the homestretch.  The James P. McHugh Academic Excellence Dinner at Gladieux Meadows will be on April 19th. This is for students with a 3.7 G.P.A. or higher. Invitations will be sent out at the beginning of April.
Our Spring Sport Season will be starting soon. Remember that your child needs a physical and a G.P.A of 2.0 in order to participate.  Please give me a call if you have any questions.
Time is flying and before you know it, you will be launching fireworks and eating hot dogs. Happy Spring!
