Congratulations to Alayna Smally, 8th Grade Student of the Month.
Despite being new to BHJH this year, Alayna is already starting the year off right. She comes to class prepared every day, and she always puts in 100% effort. She asks questions when she needs help, and even asks questions for her peers who don’t want to raise their hands. She is polite and always willing to help people.

Congratulations to Everly Brooks, 5th Grade Student of the Month.
She is always prepared for class and kind to others. Everly has been responsible in her “Classroom job” of writing down the assignments on the homework board and changing the date on the whiteboard each morning. Keep up the great work, Everly.

Congratulations, BHJH 6th Grade Student of the Month, Aria Heden.
Aria has become much more focused and locked in to keep doing her absolute best in class. She continues to be a leader in participation, discussion, and group work. Aria went above and beyond to climb up the House Cup standings to take over a commanding first place in points. Although she likes to have fun and joke around, she takes her work and learning here at school seriously, and it shows in the effort she puts into everything. It’s been a great year, Aria, and we wish you the best of luck as a 7th Grader.
