Robotics
A warm welcome home from Iowa to the FTC Robotics team Classical Engineers. They competed against many High School teams and held their own.  The Classical Engineers finished in the top 20 out of 72 teams.  They made Bedford and Michigan proud. Be sure to come to the High School this weekend and support the High School FRC Robotics Team as we host the Bedford District Competition.

NJHS
NJHS members please go to Edmodo to volunteer for upcoming events.

100 Mile Club
Begins April 13 - May 15 Monday through Friday 2:45 - 4:30. Dates subject to change due to weather conditions! There is a $10 registration fee. You'll receive a T-Shirt with the completion of 100 Miles. Anyone interested can pick up a flyer in the office. If you have any questions you can email doleary@ymcatoledo.org or call (734)850-9622.

6th Grade Bedford's Spring Volleyball Clinic
Bedford's Spring Volleyball Clinic for 6th graders is taking place Mondays and Wednesdays April 20th - May 20th at 7:15 pm.  Any 6 graders interested can pick up a registration form at the main office.

Box Top
Box Top collection for March and April is ice cream sundaes for the winning 4th hour class!  With only 10 classes participating at this time it is not to late to jump in the race. Mrs Mahoney's class is currently leading the way with a total of 333 Box Tops!  A close second is Mrs Pridgeon!

This is a great way to raise extra money for the school.  These funds will help support in class projects, field trips and many other fun activities in the building. SO START CLIPPING!

In addition to "box tops" we are also collecting "labels for education"! These can be found on Campbell Soups, Pepperidge Farm, Danimals, etc. 

Drop Off and Pick Up
Please remember that ALL student drop off and pick up is in the back the the Junior High School Building.  Please follow the traffic flow pattern when dropping off or picking up students.

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
