Thank you to BJSHS students (from left) Daymon Highley, Logan Wilson and Conner Prosser for serving as the mail delivery team for the 24-25 school year. They did a great job!
As you can see, they're already planning for the summer in their pineapple glasses! Thanks, guys! ☺️
Today was Water Day! This is a PTO fundraiser where students can purchase sponges to throw at teacher and staff. The class that collected the most got to dump water buckets on Mr. Campbell and Miss Rogers!!
According to Miss Rogers, "We had a tie with classes so Mrs. Thurman's class and Mrs. Hiatt's class got to soak us with buckets of water! Then the rest of the classes each got their turn to soak us with sponges and water crayons! I'm so glad it was hot this morning!"
Thank you BPS PTO! What a fun day!

Welcome, new first graders!
First grade students in Mrs. Amanda Wolfe's class at BPS partnered up with Ms. Molly Ault's kindergarten class for a Q & A about first grade. Mrs. Wolfe's students designed matching friendship bracelets to give to their new kindergarten friends. They introduced themselves and gave them a matching bracelet. The students spent 15 minutes touring the classroom and asking questions about first grade. It was such a sweet time.
