BCHS Jag PRIDE Newsletter

We are so excited to bring your our first edition of The BCHS Jag PRIDE Newsletter. BCHS is an incredible place where students are learning, growing, and challenging themselves each and every day. To better capture and celebrate the incredible things that happen BCHS while also keeping our community informed of up coming events and new information, we decided to create this newsletter! The BCHS Jag PRIDE Newsletter will be shared monthly with our families to foster communication, community, and Jaguar PRIDE!

Freshmen and Sophomore students went to an assembly put on by StuGo, JALAC and Spiritline the first Friday of the 22-23 school year! At this assembly students learned what "PRIDE" means @ BC and how to show it!

Prepared

Respect

Integrity

Discipline

Everyone United

Students also learned how to get involved at the school whether they join a club for a sport!

They ended the assembly learning the BCHS Fight song!

Juniors and Seniors looked at their transcripts and made goals to get to graduation and their post-secondary choices.

Our Jaguar Athletic Leadership Advisory Council members, Addison Han and Claire Zellers, wrote a newsletter for the AIA Slack... Check it out here:

JALAC is made up of representatives from each sport at BCHS. They meet monthly to discuss topics in regards to PRIDE in Athletics and how to keep BC united; through all sports, big or small.

JALAC Mission Statement: Our purpose and mission of JALAC is to establish an inclusive and encouraging atmosphere for all members involved. We will empower students to develop as leaders and advocate for their communities. We look to embrace and support the community our students participate in, one activity at a time.

This past Tuesday, August 30th Stugo members attended the 2022 Fall Spirit Conference at Pinnacle Peak High School. This year's theme was, “Follow the Leadership road,” and our Stugo members “rocked” their costumes. It was a great opportunity to start the upcoming school year successfully. Students participated and effectively interacted in leadership activities and were inspired by fantastic guest motivational speakers (Jesse LeBeau and Russ Peak). Stugo members are very excited to implement what they learned.

Jordan Benjamin is a Junior saxophone player in the boulder creek marching band as well as the section leader, and 1st chair player in the wind ensemble. At the beginning of the year while Mr. Burrola was having a student meeting on zoom discussing the show, Jordan took it upon herself to begin designing the show shirt for this year. She took the ideas that were being discussed and her own inspiration and ideas and put it into a master piece of a design that truly captures the show and feeling of this year. Jordan is extremely talented young student that has a drive and determination to always do her best no matter what.

BCHS and DVUSD celebrated Aneesa Zerarka and Aaron Kroeger's quick thinking and incredible support when they worked together to help a fellow Jaguar in a time of medical need. Aneesa and Aaron are BC swimmers and certified lifeguards, so when they were called to action on the first day of school, they knew what to do! Absolutely incredible!

Aneesa and Aaron were honored at BCHS on August 12, 2022 and presented the first ever DVUSD Excellence in Safety Awards!

We are so proud!
