Attention Bluford Families!
Tomorrow, Friday, September 29th, Orange Bus (Ms. Durenda's Route) will be dismissing early from school (approximately 2PM). We are short bus drivers and the only way to get your children home is to run an early route.
Please have someone at home to get your child on Friday at this earlier time. We apologize for the inconvenience.
If your child will be picked up from school that day rather than riding the bus, please contact the office.

Just like many school districts across Illinois and the United States, we are in need of bus drivers! We are starting to feel the affects of the bus driver shortage more than ever!
If you are interested in serving the school community in a BIG way, consider becoming a bus driver. We need passionate, dedicated individuals to serve this very important role.
Attached are specifics of the position, including pay and benefits, route information, and bus information.
We will train those without a current CDL and welcome those that already have a CDL to start subbing immediately. Contact Mr. Cross at the school for more information regarding training and what is required.
With a nice triump tonight in our BOYS JH REGIONAL BASEBALL game. We now advance to STATE and play Saturday Sept. 30, 9:30am at Coulterville vs the Red Bud- Chester winner.

We had a HS VB Tourney here Saturday, The Webber Smackdown, and it was great day. Long, but great. We had highly competitive game, the kids had fun and it was exciting. Webber took home the third place trophy. But that is not why I'm writing this. I really need to express my gratitude to the numerous people who gave up most of their Saturday for no pay, worked tirelessly(if that's a word), and made everything great for everyone else. These people say they have no identity, they are only known as Brileys mom, Jaydas mom, Mariahs mom etc.(you get the picture). Well, these people have an identity to me. I appreciate all they all did to make this day what it was.
These are special people to me and our school. Without them things would be tough. We are very fortunate to have the type of unselfish people here that we do. Thank you all who helped out Saturday. Volunteer workers you DO have an identity and we appreciate it.
Also thanks to Coach Wilkey who had a wedding to run that day but still found the time to have all this organized. Some days I'd give my job to anyone who would take it and then there are days like Saturday that really make me glad I'm a part of it.
