Yesterday we held the 2nd annual Bluford Bash GS Cross Country meet! The kids ran fantastic and we ended the day with 4 medals, a varsity individual champion, and a girls team champion!
I want to give a huge shoutout to the school, parents, and community for all of the support that you have given to this team, you have been nothing short of amazing! Thank you all so much!

We are three weeks into the school year and issues around COVID have been very minimal. We have had a total of six positive cases, all from contact outside of the school. The most important part of this though is that we have had ZERO close contact exclusions as a result of that because of the mitigation measures in place. Also, we have our testing in place which has helped keep kids in school as well. Make it a great holiday weekend!
So far we have had a great turn out for our School Store fundraiser. We will continue to accept forms until next Friday, Sept. 10th.
Our Trojan ohana came out to support the girls’ volleyball team. JV and Varsity both played great games winning in two.
We had a great afternoon with our gs cross country meet! Nathaniel Marlow dominated the boys varsity race placing first with the boys team placing second and the girls team winning the meet!
Thank you to Ten Post Oak Baptist Church for the large amount of school supplies that were donated to the district. We greatly appreciate your generosity.
Reminder: School dismisses at 11:30 tomorrow (Friday, September 3) and there is no school on Monday, September 6, in observance of Labor Day. Make it a great weekend!

There are a lot of questions around the Pandemic EBT cards that people have been receiving. First, these are legitimate and because we have the Community Eligibility Provision, all our students should be receiving one at some point. They appear to be arriving for families randomly. Keep in mind that this is a federal program being administered by the state and it is overwhelmed by the program. The link below takes you to an FAQ with further information. There is an 800 number to call if you have individual questions about the program. https://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item=137078
