Congratulations to the Scholastic Bowl team for beating Hoopeston and Salt Fork last night! Way to go!
And the rivalry continues... Cubs vs Cardinals... who will come out on top? We need your help to decide. Will it be Mr. Rademacher's prized Cubs or Mr. Campbell's beloved St. Louis Cardinals?! Bring microwave popcorn Monday Feb 14th - Fri Feb 18th to BHJH or BHRA. Cast your votes by placing your popcorn in your favorite team's (or principal's) tote. Rather give a donation? $1=3 microwave popcorn pieces. Winner?! You get bragging rights.... The loser?! Mr. Campbell or Mr. Rademacher will have to deck out in their rival's team gear for an entire school day! Who do you want to win?! The biggest winner will be Bismarck Blessings who will put all this popcorn to good use in their weekend backpacks. READY!? SET?! POPCORN!
Menu change for TODAY! We will be having a chicken wrap, corn, frozen fruit bar, teddy grahams, & milk.
