Portrait of a Bluejay
The Portrait of a Bluejay is a district-wide initiative aimed at defining the skills, qualities, and values we want every Bondurant-Farrar student to develop during their educational journey. By collaborating with students, staff, families, and community members, this project helps ensure our graduates are well-prepared for success in school, career, and life.
