Unity Day is coming up this year on October 20th and BJHS is ready to celebrate kindness, acceptance, and inclusion in a united effort to prevent bullying! We want everyone to think about kind actions they can do for others, to include those who are feeling left out, and to accept people's differences. We would love to see the whole school participate in Unity Day by wearing Orange on October 20th to show that we are united in creating a kind, accepting and inclusive school culture.
***CANCELLED***
Due to the unforeseen future of the pandemic we will be canceling our annual craft show! We have made our decision based on the concern of the community and some past vendors. We feel we won't have the control to keep everyone safe at this time. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause!
