Wednesday Feb 1st is the last day to help us share some BEAR necessities with our friends at Katy JH.

A tradition at BDJH is to collect NEW small games and $10 restaurant gift cards for gifts for students in need at our Sister School, Katy Junior High (students are identified by KJH counselors).

Please consider donating $10 restaurant gift cards to any of the following restaurants:

• Whataburger
• Chick-fil-a
• McDonald's
• Sonic

Small or travel size games are available at HEB Plus (isle 29), Target, Walmart or Amazon. Some ideas to purchase are:

• Uno
• Sushi Go
• Magnetic Checkers
• Clue Card Game
• SmartGames IQ Six Pro
• Minecraft Magnetic Travel Puzzle

If you are too busy to shop, then please consider a monetary donation (Cash or Visa card only) or through our website and we will be happy to do the shopping for you (just click on the link below).

Tomorrow is the deadline to drop off Gift cards, small games and monetary donations in the front office. There will be a drop box, labeled ANGEL BEAR, at the reception desk to put them in.

The Katy ISD Board held listening circle sessions with parents and community members to identify State-level legislative priorities that would benefit the students of Katy ISD.

These sessions helped Katy ISD leaders create the Katy ISD list of legislative priorities for this session:

At its core, PTA is a membership association. When our membership is vibrant and robust, our influence at the school, district, state, and national levels is powerful.

A portion of the BDJH PTA membership fee goes to support the advocacy that Texas PTA and National PTA do on behalf of all school children.

If you are not already a member, add your voice to our cause. Join PTA TODAY!

We need your help with "baby pictures" of your 8th Grade student. It doesn't have to be as a baby, it could be as a toddler or kindergarten.
