Bowie Junior High School

BJH Families,

We will begin our annual food drive on Thursday. We will remind students of the "why" behind this drive often during collection week. We do not want that to be lost as we approach Thanksgiving. It has become a BISD tradition to pair this community service project with a little friendly competition. BJH will compete within the students' 4th period classes while also competing with the other three BISD campuses. Please see the graphic for ideas and items requested. BJH has also added an electronic donation option for this food drive. It appears The Mission needs funds to purchase Thanksgiving hams and turkeys to pair with the other food items collected. This may be a more convenient way to give.

Thank you in advance for your help with our competition, but more importantly, for helping to support our neighbors.

Please join us this week as we celebrate Red Ribbon Week! We will continue encouraging our students to be drug- and bully-free this week and every week at BJH!

Only speaking for BJH ONLY: students will be allowed to wear costumes on Thursday. Costumes must be school-appropriate and cannot include masks or inflatables. Please ask Mrs. Fleming if you or your child has any questions regarding this week's activities.

Congratulations to the prize winners. National School Lunch Week was a huge success.

Please consider helping at the tournament this Saturday. We try not to ask you to sell anything to raise funds for our campus; we only ask you to volunteer your time. Remember, the proceeds from this tournament go right back to our students and staff. : )

We have been asked to share this information with our 6th-grade families about their child's 5th-grade yearbook. Please see the flyer for more information. Your child will also receive a paper copy of this information at school.

Thanks and have a great rest of your day!

BJH Parents,

Retakes are TOMORROW! These are the pictures used for our yearbook, so everyone will need to take one whether they purchase the pictures or not.

For any students who are having a retake made and would still like to purchase, they can use the following link:
https://gallery.impressionistportraits.com/bowie-junior-high-school---bowietx/uc26/
It includes free shipping.

If a student purchased a package and wants to do a retake, they just need to bring their package back tomorrow, and we will reprint it for free with the new picture (that information is also included on the flyer insert in their package).

Impressionist School Portraits

Please join us in supporting the students who were lost in the past week. Please wear the colors to show the families that we are here to support and pray for them during this time.

6th grade will attend tomorrow. 7th grade will go on Tuesday, and 8th grade will have the opportunity on Wednesday. Everyone who missed their first opportunity or wants to buy more can attend on Thursday morning before Mrs. Egenbacher packs it all up. Send money (envelope preferred) or use the QR code on the image to set up an account. We hope our students can enjoy a few new items! Email Tiffany.Egenbacher@BowieISD.net for answers to your questions.

Coming next week to your BJH library!
Sneak peek after the Homecoming Pep Rally!
Set up a digital payment and keep your cash at home.

Bring your best smile on Monday!

The first pep rally of the 26-27 school year!

BJH students will take their Beginning of the Year NWEA/MAP tests on Monday and Tuesday of this week. We will follow a different schedule attached to this note. Please encourage your student to do his or her best on these tests. The NWEA test is unique in that it has no "cap" on how far the student can go in terms of the level of the test questions. It tests more of their aptitude or abilities than whether they know their grade-level standards, which is more like the STAAR tests. We are off to a great start, and I'll share even more in a parent/student update coming soon!
