FUN AMIDST THE FRENZY: As students barreled toward semester-ending exams this past week, teachers still found ways to lighten the mood here and there. In Mr. Wentworth’s Civics class, jury deliberations followed a week-long Mock Trial. In Mrs. Lyons’ sixth-grade Science class, students took in some important environmental lessons from DNR Scientist Jonathan Massung. And in Mrs. Gerow’s Health class, School Resource Officer Steve Cingano stopped by to discuss the law. #GoBeavers
CALENDAR CHECK: As we sprint to the finish line for the semester and the year, we want to remind students and parents of our holiday schedule. Wednesday, Dec. 20 and Thursday, Dec. 21 are FULL DAYS for all students, with most BJSHS students scheduled for semester exams on those days. The holiday break begins Friday, Dec. 22, with students returning with a full day Thursday, Jan. 4. Let's finish strong, Beavers!
ONE LAST THING: We’re closing the books on 2023, but before we completely leave our fall athletics to the history books, we want to recognize these standout performers for their individual conference, regional and statewide accolades within their teams’ successes.
