BJSHS students in Mr. Aaron Murphy's Health class had a great time today learning about resilience by making free standing towers. They were tasked to make the tallest tower possible using marshmallows, spaghetti noodles, tape and string. Half way through, disaster struck and they lost half of their supplies. They regrouped and kept focused on the task at hand. They learned that we can’t control what happens to us, we can only control how we respond to it. #BetterAtBlackford

The 7th grade Bruins in Ms. Shelby Capper's class at BJSHS enjoyed a tasty lesson! According to Ms. Capper: Did you know waffles helped inspire the cofounder of Nike? 7th grade ELA maintenance class does now! They celebrated national waffle week by learning to write claims about how waffles helped shape the sneaker industry! Of course, we had to finish off the week with…WAFFLES! Way to go, Bruins!
