GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY
The Girls Cross Country Team came in second last night at their SEC invitational. Belle Easton was the top runner for the event. Olivia Kruk, Isabella Johnson, Makayla Orner, Madison Norton and Laney Cubberly also helped score for the team. Way to go Broncos!

BOYS CROSS COUNTRY
The JH boys cross country team raced at the SEC league meet on Wednesday up in Saline and took home the championship beating the other 8 league teams, and out scoring the closest team by 20 points.  It was an outstanding team performance, once again led by Austin Depue who took 2nd overall.  Noah Bock, Seth Oxer, Ty Smith, and Aiden Burns rounded out the top 5 for the team.  Other runners who ran well were 8th grade newcomer Matthew Kochendoerfer, and 7th graders Kevin Payne and Joey Caligiuri.  If you see any of the cross country guys, congratulate them on bringing home the first league championship of the year for BJHS.

The 6th grade boys also ran yesterday.  They won the meet and were led by Micah Scheffer who finished 1st.  Other top finishers were Collin Balla, Daniel Stieber, Ethan Lingle, Alex Birmingham, Damien Robinson and Preston Ulery.  Congratulations boys!

Carrying several books increases the chance for your chromebook to slip and break. Broken chromebooks will have to pay a $25 deductible to get it fixed.

6th and 8th Grade Students:
Students should always carry chromebook cases by the handle.
