Do you know an uncommon high school junior who would like the opportunity to earn $11,500 to further his/her education? The goal of the Uncommon Student Award (USA) is to challenge young Iowans to be uncommon as it relates to Herbert Hoover’s values and ideals. Applicants are evaluated on standards other than grades, test scores, and financial need. The students propose and complete service projects of their own choosing and should be something with which they are passionate. We’ll choose 15 of those applicants, who will spend the summer working on their projects and present their results in November. Each will earn a $1,500 award! Four will each earn a $10,000 scholarship to the school of their choice! Applications are due by April 1. Learn more at www.UncommonStudent.org Please share this unique program with project-minded juniors. It is so much more than an award program; it encourages students to become leaders, take on responsibility, promotes self-confidence and creates a sense of accomplishment.

All students wishing to park vehicles at the school during the school day/year are required to register their vehicle and will receive a FREE parking permit. Parking passes may be picked up after registering from Kristy Lorber in the counseling office. Only register when you will be driving to school. CLICK HERE to register your vehicle only if you did NOT fill out all of your vehicle information when you registered your vehicle when you registered for school.

All lunch account payments can be managed through the Infinite Campus parent portal. If you have questions please email Christy Hahn.

Our athletics booster club has launched a new online apparel store that we'd like to make you aware of. This is a 24/7 store with no "closing date" and we're told items typically ship in a week or so. Purchasing bluejay gear through the boosters directly supports Bondurant-Farrar students and programs, which we greatly appreciate!

The link to the store is included below. For each apparel item you can choose the material color and logo/design. It's a really neat feature that allows for lots of options!
