It's been an exciting day at BJSHS! Our students got to tour and ride in a Blackhawk Helicopter for an experience they will never forget! A number of students were able to ride in the helicopter as well as learn more about the JROTC program and what it has to offer. Thank you to MSGT Rick Kauffman and Major Tim Cummins for making this opportunity available to our students!
