A big thank you to everyone who came out today for the Veteran's Day Ceremony at BJSHS. Special thanks to the BJSHS JROTC and Band for their efforts with the ceremony.
On behalf of BCS, thank you to all our veterans. We appreciate your service to our country. ❤️





It was a beautiful morning at BPS as a stunning maple tree was planted in honor of Jensen Jones, a BCS student who unexpectedly passed away in the spring. A ceremony was held to dedicate the tree as Jensen's family looked on. Thank you, Hartford City Greenscape, for the tree.





Thanks to everyone who came out for opening night of the BJSHS Theater presentation of Dilemmas with Dinner. The show continues tonight and tomorrow with show times at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are still available and can be purchased at the Box Office.

The BJSHS Robotics team, humorously named the McDonald's Ice Cream Machine Repair Crew, puts some finishing touches on its competition bot. According to Robotics Head Coach Mrs. Jen Gallatin, action begins November 12. Let's go, Bruins!

There have been dinosaur sightings today at BPS! From what we've seen, the dinosaur seems friendly enough... and might even answer to Principal Campbell. We recommend approaching the dinosaur with caution... (It's been a long week!) 😄

BJSHS had their Champions Together Convocation on Thursday. Students and staff had a blast learning about Unified Sports, which allows all students to be a part of a team and compete against other schools, with guest speaker Craig Turnquist. Our students took risks today, including a big hair contest and a dance contest. We also got the chance to hear the impact Unified Sports has had on four of our students. Unified Bowling starts in January and Unified Track starts in March. Join the fun!
