At the end of last week, our BJSHS junior high students had a fun field day for those who passed the last nine weeks. Students enjoyed a 3 v 3 basketball tournament, dodgeball vs the Hartford City Police Department, a movie, smash cart tourney and more! The event ended with students who had As and Bs having their names drawn to pie a teacher in the face!

It's been a busy day for the 3rd graders in Mrs. Rachael Shadiow's class at BPS this week! According to Mrs. Shadiow, 'My 3rd graders used their “decoding rings” to decode the practice ILEARN prompts. They wrote down important words from the prompt, used their decoding cheat sheets and rings, and were able to share what type of essay they needed to write for each prompt. They did a great job! '
Great job, Bears! Keep up the good work!
