Attention Car Riders
We have a track meet today and will be changing where parent pick up starts (similar to last year during track season).
Parents will need to come in on Price St/6th street into the school and circle around and park by the bus barn/fuel tank to start loading for dismissal. The parking lot will be blocked off by Chestnut where parents normally start pulling up.
We will resharing this information again when our full track season starts to remind everyone.
Please be patient with us during this transition.
On Thursday we are going to participate in crazy sock day in honor of celebrating World Down Syndrome Day. Since the chromosomes look like mismatched socks, wear your craziest socks on Thursday, March 21.
Reminder to all the Track and Field fans that our fan gear order is due tomorrow!

Don't forget to Spring Forward if you haven't already!
Three years ago I created JH Bowling and I remember thinking to myself why do you just create more work yourself? Probably one of the better things I ve done because counting TODAY our JH BOYS bowlers made it 3 STATE appearances in as many years of existance. AND our JH GIRLS bowlers qualified for their first ever STATE appearance. Yes, it was a good day in Bluford-Farrington sports. Izzy Andrew's was the 10 highest individual girl today while sibling Tiernyn was 3rd. Ethan Thompson finished as the boys 8th highest individual. Overall the Boys finished 7th and the girls 4th. Next up is the aforementioned STATE Tourney next Saturday in St. Claire. Way to go bowling Trojans!!!
