Hello Bismarck-Henning Junior High parents,

Want to skip back-to-school shopping this summer while saving up to 20% compared to most major retailers? You can order a school supply kit for a limited time with all the supplies your student will need for their upcoming school year.

Go here before July 15 and select your child’s upcoming grade: https://shop.myimpacks.com/school/bismarck-henning-junior-high-school-bismarck-il
Each kit includes everything required, with the exception of a few things, like gym shoes. Prices are comparable to Target, and cheaper than Amazon
Check out using a credit/debit card
Consider adding a donation at checkout. Impacks will match the first $5, and all funds will go to supporting our school
The supplies will be shipped directly to Bismarck-Henning Junior High, where you will be able to pick them up during open house

Be sure to purchase your supply kit before the deadline of July 15. Let us know if you have any questions!

Thank you,
BHJH

If you have any questions about the school supply kits, products within the kits, order deadline, delivery, donations, or anything else, please contact: [email protected] or start a chat here. Please reach out to our support team, and not your school administrators, so we can quickly answer any que...

Concratulations BHJH 5th Grade Student of the Month, Jaxson Hughes.
He puts consistent effort into his school work and asks questions to show that he is interested in learning. Jaxson takes his time on his work to make sure that he has answered all of his directions. He is also a great classmate to his peers and can work with anyone as a partner or in a group. Great job this school year, Jaxson!

Happy ! What better way to celebrate than by registering your young innovator for Camp Invention? We can't wait to see current K-5 students explore forensic science with robotic capybaras, launch an epic space mission, design a custom paddle boat, and build a DIY space rocket at Camp Invention May 26-29 at BHJH.
