Our first foray with Barsby students engaging with the Paw'dcast. This week Ketty and Jackie ask Coach Stevenson about being a teacher/coach at John Barsby. A variety topics come from why he became a teacher, his passion of coaching/teaching, insight to concussions safety protocols, and what he does outside of school. Check it out if you want to know what the "Bounce" philosophy is all about!

JB is about to open up its media delivery with a "Paw'd"cast. Staff and students will have the opportunity to share all the great things happening here at Barsby! This is only a pilot episode to get the formula set up, the intro, and the tech set up properly. The "Paw'd Cast" will eventually include a video component and could include past alumni as well.... Enjoy the pilot episode (Episode 1 for title purposes) with Pierre Plante, student photographer...a teaser of content to come! Thanks Pierre for being a stand in guest last minute for the pilot!
