Veterans' Day and Honoring Our Country

BJHS has a proud tradition of honoring our veterans.  This Friday we will be having a school wide assembly saluting those that have served in the armed forces. I am always very proud of our students.  
I would like to recognize staff members Mr. Snowberger and Mr. Laburn for their service to our country. 
Our 8th grade band and Junior High Choirs will be performing under the direction of Mr. Glover.  Mr. Thomas will be leading our Junior High Orchestra.
We will be featuring 8th grade student speakers Carson Barr, Molly Vogel, Max Marquardt, and Laura Shake.
 I am very excited to have David Chilson from Honor Flight to address our students.  Mr. Chilson is bringing special guest and World War II Veteran Melvin Barger.  To find out more about Honor Flight,

Mr. Davis' history classes also worked on a display in the front case honoring our founding fathers.

Dr. Robinson also ran a mock election for the presidency.  Student had to register last week and they voted earlier this week. The results were 324 votes for President Obama and 274 votes for Governor Romney.  BJHS parents, Mrs. Kraine, made an interesting comment to me noting that some of these students will be old enough to actually vote in the next presidential election!  Time flies when you are having fun.

Part of the culture of a school is defined by how we present ourselves. I am very proud of the BJHS students and how they are honoring our heroes and our country.
