BHJH 8th Grade McDonald's Student of the Month is Reece Larsen. Reece always completes her work on time and is never late to class. She is kind and polite to everyone, and she helps her peers. She is always prepared for class.

BHJH 7th Grade McDonald's Student of the Month is Reese Monson. Reese participates well in class and always has her work done on time. She is helpful to others and encourages her peers. She is also respectful to the staff and peers.

BHJH 6th Grade McDonald's Student of the Month is Jocelyn Shelato. Jocelyn has made a fantastic transition into 6th grade. She is actively participating in all her classes and has shown so much growth from last year. Jocelyn has a bright smile and bubbly personality that brightens everyone’s day. We are excited to see how much she continues to grow throughout the school year.

BHJH 5th Grade McDonald's Student of the Month is Aria Heden. Aria is the 5th-grade student of the month! She isn’t afraid to stand up for what is right even if that means disagreeing with a friend. She works hard at all she does, and she is the first person to jump in when she sees another student in need of help. She is responsible, kind, and a great role model to the rest of the 5th grade. Keep up the great work!

From Officer Damilano: September is National Suicide Prevention Month. The warning signs to look for include changes in behavior, especially those that are entirely new and related to a sudden loss or change, increased use of alcohol or drugs, isolating from family and friends and visiting or calling people to say goodbye. It’s important for those struggling with thoughts of suicide to feel a sense of connection to family, friends and their community. This connection can be strengthened by making a deliberate effort to check in with friends and family or meeting new people, also encouraging them to attend events! We have many fun events happening at BHRA and in Vermilion County. Please reach out to your friends. The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress, along with prevention and crisis resources.
