As the holiday season approaches, the BDJH PTA, in partnership with the Beckendorff NJHS, is sponsoring our 5th Annual Angel Bear Gift-Giving Drive. We will be collecting gifts that will benefit students at our Sister School, Katy Junior High. Angel Bear is an amazing opportunity for students to help other students. Some of the specific needs are backpacks, sweatshirts, and wallets/wristlets. These simple gifts make a big difference to students in need.

The counselors will be distributing Angel Bear gift tags starting next week in advisory periods. In order for your child to receive an Angel Bear gift tag and participate in this program, you must give your child permission and fill out the form below. You can also return it directly to the counselor’s office and pick up a gift tag.
