JiJi Visits Boyden
Thursday morning to congratulate a large group of students who achieved 100% puzzle progress. These students received their special certificate and got their picture taken with JiJi for the Boyden ST Math Wall of Fame. We congratulated 77 new students, bringing the school total to 195! Amazing! Students will have one more opportunity the last week of school to receive their certificate and get their picture taken with JiJi, so keep working hard and solving those puzzles!
Student Council Service Project
Student Council has organized a pet supply drive to support a local animal shelter. They want to ensure that the shelter has all the supplies to provide the animals with the best possible care.
