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.

Conner is very engaged in all his classes. He constantly raises his hand to participate in class and engage with the teacher’s lesson. He is very polite to his teachers and his peers. He takes great pride in doing quality academic work, and this is reflected in his current grades. He also goes out of his way to help other students who may be struggling. We are proud of the student he is!

Our Community is Blessing Our BHJH Staff!

Each month, I have the privilege of presenting one of our BHJH staff members with a $100 gift card to their favorite restaurant so they can enjoy a night out with their family.

This is possible because of the incredible generosity of our community members and local business owners who believe in supporting and blessing the people who pour so much into our students every day.

Our very first recipient was Kathy Arney, and Robinson Chiropractic was the generous donor who made her family dinner possible! 🙌

What a blessing it is to be able to give back to our amazing staff. And the best part? We’ll be drawing a random staff member at the end of every month through the end of the year! 🎉

Thank you to our community for loving and supporting BHJH staff in such a BIG way! We are so grateful! 💙

WE HAVE A STATE CHAMPION…AND NOW HE’S FAMOUS!

Today we took a little field trip to surprise 8th grader Ethan Jiles with his newly posted IDOT State Champion sign! IDOT honors state champions by displaying a sign in their honor for one year, and Ethan certainly earned his!

Ethan brought home 1st place in both the 100M and 200M, and it was pretty special getting to see his reaction when he saw his sign for the first time. He was both humble and excited—exactly the kind of young man we are proud to have representing BHJH.

Congratulations, Ethan! We are incredibly proud of you and all you have accomplished. And with your name officially on a highway sign, I think it’s safe to say…you’re famous now!
