To showcase the school’s BR3 model of “being ready, being respectful and being responsible,” West Babylon Junior High School has added a new display to the main lobby. Each month, students who exemplify these traits are recognized on the board for their positive behavior and contributions to the school community. The board encourages them to consistently demonstrate these values and to notice when others are showing them as well. By recognizing these actions, the BR3 display inspires peers to follow suit, helping to build a strong community of learners who hold themselves and each other to high standards. About 20-40 students in grades 6-8 are recognized in each category monthly.

West Babylon Junior High School students in Mrs. Ring’s seventh grade science class conducted a frog dissection on March 6. The purpose of the activity was to help students learn about the structure and function of animals both externally as well as internally and to develop dissection skills. These exercises are also used so students can compare the frog anatomy to the human anatomy on a smaller scale.
