WALK, BIKE & ROLL - This Thursday

BDJH will be hosting our first Healthy LIfestyles event of the year with our semi-annual Walk, Bike & Roll on October 15th. 


We are asking volunteers to assist with handing out tickets to students who walk, bike or ride a scooter to school. Those students who are also exhibiting safe behavior (wearing a helmet, walking their bike or scooter into the school bike enclosure, crossing via a designated crosswalk with the crossing guards, looking both ways before crossing an intersection near the school, etc) have an opportunity to earn an extra ticket! 


Please use the link below to sign up if you are available to volunteer. Thank you!

PBIS
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Volunteers,

On Friday, September 13, we need your help so students can cash in their PBIS points during lunch.


What is PBIS?

It is a "Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support" program. PBIS focuses on the positive. Students will be able to earn points for modeling our P.R.I.D.E values: Purpose, Respect, Integrity, Determination, and Empathy. When students are modeling our P.R.I.D.E values, anyone on campus can scan their ID and give them points.


Please sign up below. You can choose one shift or all of them! Thank you for your help.
