Quote of the month:
"If there is no struggle, there is no progress." --Frederick Douglass
Our August quote reminds us that eliminating every challenge or difficulty for one another stifles our growth and can make us weaker. If we do not allow adversity to breech our doorstep, it can cripple and crush our entire family and even debilitate society as a whole. But if we greet adversity with open arms and allow it to mold and strengthen us, then it will become one of our strongest weapons for conquering the inevitable challenges of life.

BHJS competed in the Great Arkansas History Video Game Coding Competition (GAHVGCC) and won HONORABLE MENTION! These boys put in lots of hours and days into creating a video game. We are very proud of them and can’t wait to see what they do in the future with video games and coding! A huge thank you goes to Kenny Goodwin, owner of Arrowhead Broadband, for letting the boys utilize his facilities and his transportation. Along with all the boy’s parents for allowing them to participate.

The school went into a temporary lockdown with a malfunction of our RAVE System signaling an active shooter. The police responded within seconds and discovered it was a malfunction. All students and staff are safe and there was NO active shooter. We are in contact with the company that provides our system to explain and correct.
