We are so excited to be Brunswick Dragons! If you're looking for some Dragon gear, check out our online school store!

We have some very exciting field trips coming up in sixth, seventh, and eighth grade! Mrs. Catanese is meeting with teams to remind students about expectations so that all students can have the best time on our trips. Specifically:

- Students need to be SAFE: At school this can look like walking in the halls, being safe on the playground, and being safe during lunch

- Students need to be RESPECTFUL: At school this can look like following directions and using kind words

- Students need to be RESPONSIBLE: At school this can look like being on time and prepared to classes

Students who are struggling to meet these expectations will work with administrators and parents so that we can provide support so that students can be successful. If students cannot consistently demonstrate safety, respect, or responsibility they may not be allowed to attend a field trip.

You're invited! Join us next Friday, March 24th for our next Paint Night fundraiser for the BJHS Art Department. We're excited for this lovely painting - Spring is coming soon!
