Jenn touched so many lives and the 'Jenn Murphy Scholarship’ Group on Facebook is a wonderful tribute to this beautiful young girl who’s effect on this town in her short life, was so tremendous. Through stories, clippings, pictures and memories posted each day, the community has been championing Jenn's memory steadily, coming together in a tidal wave of graduating classes, spanning a decade or more, from 1990 through 2000 and beyond, to raise these monies the scholarship fourishes for the next generations of amazing seniors at BUHS!
 
Good luck BUHS seniors, Class of 2022!
