Aubree also set a new single game scoring record, netting 40 points to propel her team to a win over Union City! Be sure to come out and see these two in action this season as they lead their teams to victory!

Members of our Make A Difference Club organized a Giving Tree, encouraging and providing other students at BJSHS the opportunity to join in adopting a family in need this holiday season to ensure they had a Christmas season to remember. Students, staff, and other community members joined in supporting this great cause. Much thanks to these students for leading efforts to warm hearts and make a positive difference!

We have seen a lot of damage to Chromebooks during the first semester of this school year. Please remind your child that these devices are expensive to replace ($250) and to be careful with them. There is still time to opt-in to the technology device insurance program offered through Bronson Community Schools. If interested in purchasing coverage for the device of your student(s), please contact our school office at (517) 369-3230.

Regular school attendance is vitally important to the success of students. If your student(s) is unable to make it in to school for a period of time due to illness, an appointment, etc. please remember to call our attendance hotline at (517) 369-3231 to communicate their absence. Similarly, if you child needs to leave early, please call our office and make the necessary arrangements. Doing so will help ensure we have accurate records related to attendance. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

After School Academic Support will continue to be available to students during the 2nd semester.

After School Academic Support will resume on Tuesday, January 14th and will continue to be available each Tuesday and Thursday from 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. to students in 6th - 12th grades. During this time student can access homework help, support with study skills, tutoring, or simply a quiet place to work. For more information, students are encouraged to see Ms. Blemaster, Mrs. Franks, Ms. Medema, Ms. Mudd or Ms. Smith.

Winter is here! The Viking Care Center was established as a way to give students and their families help by providing items that are needed. We currently have clothing, including some outerwear, hats, and gloves, shoes, toiletries, some food items, and some laundry products available at the school. Please have your child talk with someone here at school or feel free to contact the office about the needs your family may be facing. We would love to help!
