Principal's Message
Dear Bobcat Families,
The BJH spelling bee is being held Wednesday, January 31, 2024 from 3:30-4:30 p.m.. The event will take place in the school auditorium. Spelling bee contestants have worked hard to prepare for this event. A huge thank you to our spelling bee coordinator, Mr. Ausmus. Good luck to all of our spelling bee contestants.
In other news, our 8th grade students will take the panoramic picture on Thursday, February 1st. Parents if you have not ordered the panoramic picture, there is still time. Order online at https://mylifetouch.com. Please use the Picture Day ID: MH013055T0.
This Thursday is the first day of African American History Month. This month honors the rich culture and history of African Americans and their contribution to American History. BJH will celebrate this month with an African American Read-in (more details to come). We will also highlight various famous African Americans in the morning announcements. Google classroom will also highlight the accomplishments and contributions of African Americans. Finally the weekly newsletter will feature a short video about African American History or a famous African American.
The school office has noticed quite a few food deliveries such as Uber Eats, Door Dash, and other types of fast food ordered with an app. Students have been informed that fast food deliveries should not be made to the school. Our office counter space is limited and should be reserved for non food items related to school business. Storing food in the front office is not something we can accommodate. Help keep our office a professional environment free of bags of fast food. Students are free to eat the food offered by our school cafeteria or they may bring their own bagged lunch to school. Starting Monday, January 29, 2024, any fast food delivered to the front office will not be accepted.
