Robotics
Congratulations to the Loose Screws for finishing qualifications in first place!  They invited the Classical Engineers to join them in an alliance for play-offs and together won the robotics tournament.  The Classical Engineers also won the Inspire Award which is the highest award for Best Overall Team.  Both teams earned advancements to states. Way to go Broncos!!

Math Students
If you are interested in taking this year's Math League Competitive Math Test, please sign up with your math teacher by this Wednesday December 17th.  You need to have an A or a B in math to be eligible to take the test.  There are online practice tests you may use to get ready for the actual test.  If you have any questions please ask your math teacher or see Mrs. Brown in room 230.

Perfect Christmas Gift
It’s the perfect Christmas gift!  Buy a penny hockey board starting December 1st. They are only $2.00 at the concession stand during all lunch hours. These 
games were made by the 8th grade technology education classes. They are loads of fun, and you don’t even have to go to the store.  Buy them while supplies last. 

Grapplerette
Any girls interested in working with the wrestling program as a grapplerette should attend a meeting Tuesday December 16, 2014 after school. The meeting will run from 2:45 until 4:00. Please meet Coach Andrews by the cafeteria.

Holiday Food Drive

Yearbook
Year books are on sale now for $45.00.
The online price is $45.00 plus $2.00 service fee. 


The BJHS School Publication department is offering an "early bird" special for $43.00 only at the junior high school through Winter Break. In order to receive the special price, the books must be ordered in the cafeteria during lunches.  All sales after that will be $45.00 and sale of the yearbook ends on Valentines.

Bus Depot
Recently we are having two issues in the Bus Depot with our Junior High Students.  Please remember to get on your buses as soon as possible.  Buses need to be on time for their elementary routes.  Too many students are "hanging out" in the center of the bus depot.  Also Junior High Students need to refrain from demonstrating public displays of affection in the depot (kissing).

Chromebooks
6th and 7th grade students - We have received notice that Chromebooks have been seen unattended during after school sporting practices/events. Please remember that you can return to your locker after practice to retrieve your Chromebook. Chromebooks should never be left unattended, in the gymnasium, or under a tree. It is important to remember that each student with a Chromebook signed an agreement at the beginning of the school year that states...
I will be responsible for my Chromebook at all times.
My Chromebook will never be left unattended
I will store my Chromebook in my secured locker at BJHS while at sports practices or after school activities

Bus Notes
Reminder to all students - Bus notes to ride another bus home after school MUST be stamped in the office BEFORE the end of sixth hour.

Happy Birthday Today
