STUDENT OF THE WEEK

Jasmine W.  has been a great addition to our orchestra program at BJHS since she returned from a brief stay in Turkey. After missing 3/4 of a school year she has worked hard to catch up with her violin skills. Jasmine always brings a cheerful attitude and a desire to continue to make herself a better musician. She does this through hard work each and every day in class as well as taking lessons outside of school. Congratulations Jasmine on being Student of the Week!
