Author Visit to BJHS!! Thank you for joining us, Mr. Jalali, and thank you to Ms. Acheson for making this happen for our students!
To culminate a social studies and ELA unit called “Coming to Maine,” author Reza Jalali recently spoke to B.J.H.S. seventh graders about his book Dear Maine: Trials and Triumphs of Maine’s 21st Century Immigrants. Mr. Jalali immigrated from Iran in 1985, has taught at the University of Southern Maine, and is the director of Greater Portland’s Welcome Center. After his talk, he answered students’ questions via the Google Meet.

Good Morning,
Today at approximately 9:00 am our fire alarm went off unexpectedly. Students and staff evacuated the building and the fire department arrived shortly thereafter. Cleaning supplies in a closet triggered a sensor in a cafeteria. The fire department cleared the building and students are now back in classes according to our regular schedule. Thank you to the fire department, our staff, and students for responding quickly and appropriately.
