News from BJSHS

The Spring Musical, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown will be held at 7:00 pm on March 7th, 8th, and 9th and at 2:00 pm on March 10th. The performance will be at the Bronson Theatre. Tickets are $10 each.

If your child is not feeling well during the day, they should let an adult at the school know (their teacher, the school nurse, or someone in the office.) A call to a parent/guardian will then be made. This process allows us to better track student whereabouts and attendance. Students should not be texting parents during class time as this is a cell phone use violation. Please discuss this with your child(ren).

Each year our Make A Difference group organizes a week of activities to "Make a Difference." This year, the focus is on inclusion. Each day has a dress up theme and and inclusive activity for students to participate in. We have also partnered with the Waldron Learning Center in Coldwater and will be including their students in our assembly.

Monday- Fun Sock Day- "Appreciate Diversity"

Tuesday- Pajama Pants Day- "Be Comfortable, Be You"- Pay someone a compliment today

Wednesday- Hat Day- "Hats on for inclusion"- Talk to someone new today.

Thursday- Super Hero Day- "Be a hero for inclusion"- Sit with someone new at lunch today

Friday- Purple and Gold Day- "We are the Bronson Vikings"- Give five, High 5's today

We are looking forward to a great week including others!

Students will be collecting food and non-perishable items from March 11-20th this year. These items will be used to help restock the local food pantry. Classrooms will engage in a friendly competition to see which class earns the most point. Points have been assigned to the following items:

3 points each (High Priority Items)- Bisquick mix, pancake mix, canned meats (ham, tuna, salmon, chicken, corned beef), & boxed/canned meals.

2 points each (Needed Items)- Hand soap (larger than travel size), Dish soap (larger than travel size), toothbrush, peanut butter, macaroni & cheese, boxed potatoes/rice/noodles, chili, soups, canned fruit, canned peas, canned potatoes

1 point each (Other items)- Other canned vegetables, boxes of jello or pudding

*Ramen Noodles are not needed at this time.

We are continuing to offer after-school support on Tuesday and Thursday until 4:00 pm. Please check the Daily Bulletin on our website for availability each week.

This will allow morning drop-off to go more smoothly and bus parking for dismissal. If you have an early morning meeting scheduled, please park in the west (student) lot. If you need to pick your child up early from school, please call the office to let us know which lot you will be parked in (west lot/student parking lot or south lot/staff parking lot) and we will send your child(ren) to you. (Remember, buses can begin pulling up in front of the building as early as 2:30pm.) Thank you in advance for your cooperation with this.

As a reminder, the Viking Care Center was established as a way to give students and their families help by providing items that are needed. We currently have clothing, including some outerwear, hats, and gloves, shoes, toiletries, some food items, and some laundry products available at the school. Please have your child talk with someone here at school or feel free to contact the office about the needs your family may be facing. We would love to help!
