Volunteer Opportunites
Concessions
We are continuing snacks sales after school on Friday afternoons. We are still in need of volunteers to help with sales.
We will also be selling at all home basketball games. In order to do so, we need your help! If you have children participating in basketball, please consider helping before or after your child's game.
Find us at the gym concession stand. We have chips, candy, drinks, and other snacks for purchase. Come see us!

Workroom & Crossing Guard
Workroom
Support teachers by helping to make copies and laminate/cut classroom materials. If you have an hour or so in the morning or the afternoon any day Monday through Friday, please consider signing up for a shift.
Cross Walk
Please consider signing up to help our students safely cross at the Circle Drive. We are asking for assistance from one volunteer each morning from 7:40am - 8:15am.
Not sure what to do? Training will be provided as needed.

Book Swap
Donate for doughnuts! The homeroom class that donates the most books will receive doughnuts.
We are in need of a campus volunteer to help with book collection. If you are interested in helping with this one-time event, please contact Laura laurac@nfsi.org or Toni tckerns@sbcglobal.net
Beautiful BJH Bathrooms
In the fall, the BJH PTA completed mini bathroom makeovers for the two faculty bathrooms. Our teachers were thrilled! We are in need of more supplies to maintain the comfort and convenience of the bathrooms. Thanks for your help!
