Robotics
Good luck to all of our robotics team this weekend.  The Bionic Broncos, Classical Engineers, Turning Gears, Loose Screws, Basement Dwellers and Circuit Breakers will all be competing right here on Saturday.  The robotics tournament is free, and these teams would love for you to stop by the gym on Saturday and cheer them on.  The matches will be held from 11:00 - 6:00.  Come see what robotics is all about!  Good Luck Bedford teams!

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. 
Wrestling
Any boys interested in wrestling, practice will begin Monday December 8th.  In the meantime you may attend Open Mat which is held Mondays and Wednesdays 6-8 pm in the Junior High Wrestling room.

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
Our annual Student Council Holiday Food Drive is off to a great start.  Thank you to all that donated so far.  If everyone brought in at least 2 items we could meet our goal of 3,000 items by December 12, 2014.
Great Items to donate:
Canned tuna, chicken, salmon, chili, stew, soups, fruit or vegetables
Boxed macaroni & cheese, rice or pasta
Peanut butter & Jelly
Pasta sauce and paper products
Please donate to help those less fortunate! Thank you!

All 7th and 8th grade student council members please check in with Mr Lopinski during your homeroom everyday during the 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
