Christmas Break is almost here, Hornets! 🎄❄️⛄️
Check out this different kind of Christmas Parade! 🤖
In Mr. Price’s new Robotics 1 class, BJHS 9th graders built robots, programming them to move autonomously and operate with a remote control so they can drive around to complete specific tasks. Class members made Christmas Floats utilizing their robots and had an impromptu parade to show their hard work and creativity.

BJHS Student Council’s service project, Bryant’s Got Talent, earned proceeds to provide nine families with holiday meal boxes. Students created the entire event from planning, to hosting auditions, to serving as MC's and stage crew.
Council members even shopped for the meal items which included ham, green beans, corn, yams, stuffing, mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, pinto beans, rolls, pie, cookies, juice and tea.
We are so #BryantProud of their 💙 for service! Debra Catton is the group sponsor.
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year! Thanks to the BHS Student Senate, 50 children will receive toys and clothing through the Salvation Army Adopt-a-Child program. The Senate sponsors the annual program, which provides clubs, teams and staff members with the opportunity to serve families in the district. 🎄🎅🏻🎁

Everyone Can Code: Learning Together
Brenda Qualls, BHS Computer Science teacher, welcomed students from the Arkansas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired recently. Bryant students worked alongside the guests to code a program in java. The ASBVI students shared information about the devices they use for coding such as an audio screen reader and the BrailleNote Touch. It was a great learning experience for both groups of students!
