History isn't just a story—it’s a crime scene. This week, Mrs. Preator's students are stepping into the boots of 19th-century investigators to crack the Lincoln Assassination conspiracy! 🎩📜
Using actual primary sources from the night at Ford's Theatre and the events that followed, students are analyzing eyewitness depositions and physical evidence to piece together the web of conspirators. Who was in on it? What were their roles? And how did they almost pull it off?
By evaluating conflicting eyewitness accounts, they are learning that the truth is often found in the details of the past. 🔍💻

Yesterday, students at BJHS celebrated their academic efforts! We had 741 students who met the criteria of showing growth or scoring at a level 3 or 4 on BOTH their math and English ATLAS interim test. Students played Gaga ball, basketball, 9 square, board games, and more. Special thanks to Geyer Springs Baptist Church and New Life Baptist Church for their help with our incentive. We love celebrating our students’ hard work and success!
