Congratulations, BHJH 6th Grade Student of the Month, Aria Heden.
Aria has become much more focused and locked in to keep doing her absolute best in class. She continues to be a leader in participation, discussion, and group work. Aria went above and beyond to climb up the House Cup standings to take over a commanding first place in points. Although she likes to have fun and joke around, she takes her work and learning here at school seriously, and it shows in the effort she puts into everything. It’s been a great year, Aria, and we wish you the best of luck as a 7th Grader.

He puts consistent effort into his school work and asks questions to show that he is interested in learning. Jaxson takes his time on his work to make sure that he has answered all of his directions. He is also a great classmate to his peers and can work with anyone as a partner or in a group. Great job this school year, Jaxson!
