I really feel BJHS is great! I also feel that during halftime shows on Football nights, it would be great to see all of our children/grandchildren to be able to perform. This includes Cheerleaders, Pep Squad and the Band. After all every student involved in these areas are entitled to show their talents that they practice and work hard for daily.!
