BJH ANNUAL TEACHER VS STUDENT BASKETBALL GAME

It was a highly anticipated contest between the BJH Faculty and this year's Freshman class. However, the experience and wisdom of the Faculty could not be matched with the spry energy of the Freshman. Once again the Teachers of BJH came out victorious in this annual match up.

BJH 9TH GRADE FIELD TRIP

On Monday, Bedford 9th grade students visited the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum. While there, students experienced some of humanity's most incredible stories of struggles and courage. Teaching them that history survives through memory, the museum allowed them to be witness to the events of the Holocaust and the struggle for human rights for all. Students said the experience was very moving and were grateful for the opportunity to visit. BJH would also like to thank the many PTA volunteers who helped to chaperone and make this trip possible.

BEDFORD JUNIOR HIGH 2022-2023 IMAGINE NO VIOLENCE ART CONTEST WINNERS

Use your imagination to picture your dreams while remembering you have the power to change your own life and do big things for good and for peace in your community. First Place winners win ($75), Second Place ($50), and Third Place ($25). Outstanding Second Place and Third Place, and Honorable Mention award winners may be recognized with a Chairman’s Choice Award ($75) at the discretion of the Chairman of One Safe Place Board of Directors.

2ND ANNUAL BJH BLOOD DRIVE A HUGE SUCCESS!

The second Blood Drive was a huge success! In total we had 34 donors. The Carter BloodCare donation lead and the entire team who was here on Thursday was so impressed with our turn out. Whole Blood donation, we had 28 and double red blood cells 5. Spring 2022 we had 25 and 4, respectively so we were below on one and above in double red blood cells. Folks, that is just amazing. The Bronco community never ceases to amaze Mrs. Keneda with their support. Thank you all!

BEDFORD UNITED SOCCER

This week five of Bedford United's players represented Bedford Junior High in the annual Liga HEB White vs Green All-star game. The point of the All-Star game is to build camaraderie in the league, and bring kids together through the joy of the Beautiful Game. Each club gets five slots to fill, and coaches select players who are most deserving of the honor based on skill, attitude, leadership, and commitment. Bedford United was represented by Johan Osorio, Angel Guarneros, Terel Kabayi, Efri Lekunga, and Sladen Reams. HEB White scored late in the first half and HEB Green battled back valiantly in the second half, but never notched a tying goal. Final Score: Liga HEB White: 1, Liga HEB Green: 0.
