Attention Families:
This is a friendly reminder that we must have a note or phone call from a parent/guardian to allow your child to ride the bus home to a different location other than their normal drop off. This includes if they are not riding the bus and are going to be a car rider.
Please call no later than 2PM. If we don't have a note or phone call, the student will be required to ride their normal bus route and be dropped off at home.
Thank you for your cooperation.

MS Cross Country Results @ Woodlawn: Posted by Coach JP
15 Trojans and Lady Trojans ran at Woodlawn on Saturday morning going against stiff competition as they faced several county schools, but several outside the county as well which included the Class L Salem Wildcats.
The Bluford-Farrington runners were undeterred, with 10 of our 15 runners taking home medals, all 15 kids shattering their expected times for the day, the girls varsity squad pulling together a very nice 3rd place finish, and the boys varsity squad stepping up and pulling out the upset over the class L school, taking home 1st place in a 47-48 win!(lowest score wins)
Full Results are below(I apologize for any misspelling of names!) I cannot emphasize enough how great all these kids ran!
