Grades 6, 7, and 8 are very excited to invite you to our Holy Week skits. Scenes will depict several of the events that took place during Jesus' return to Jerusalem.

We will gather at the flagpole each day except Thursday when we'll gather at the sliding hill across from the foot bridge. All of the skits will start at 8:30 am.

Holy Monday ... Jesus in the Temple

Holy Tuesday ... Sermon on the Mount

Holy Thursday ... Last Supper

Good Friday ... Stations of the Cross

Remember to submit your favorite baby picture of your 8th grader for their yearbook. Be sure to include a special note, too. Please email pictures and any questions to Mrs. Curran Friday, April 15.

We learned of a case of strep throat this week in the lower school. Please be on the lookout for the following symptoms - which may be mild to severe:

Fever - good indicator, but not always present - may have chills

General ill feeling - headache, nausea, loss of appetite

Complaints of sore throat - it may hurt to swallow and there may be white patches

Tender glands in the neck

Untreated, strep can lead to serious complications. Strep throat is treated with antibiotics which should be taken as prescribed even if symptoms improve. BJAMS' policy is that your student must be on antibiotics for at least 24 hours before returning to school.

Please consult your family doctor with any questions or concerns you may have regarding strep throat.
