Santa went high tech with us today!
We are now up to 87 households signed up for the Kroger Rewards program. By simply signing up and then shopping at Kroger, they send us a check quarterly. This quarter, we received $362.96! If you want to sign up visit, https://www.kroger.com/i/community/community-rewards.
The district is thankful to have received an $11,525 grant from Ameren to improve energy efficiency through insulation and weather stripping. Work was completed last weekend and the district is expected to save approximately $2,500 a year in energy costs.
The district is helping to spread the word about the last food box distribution in Bluford of 2020. Volunteers from Project Mom and Dad have teamed up with Frey Farms and Cusumano and Sons to provide 250 free boxes containing meat, dairy, and produce. Distribution will take place Saturday, December 19, beginning at 8:30 at the New Life Missionary Baptist Church. Elderly, disabled, or homebound residents can call the village hall at 732-8773 before December 17, at 4:00 p.m. to schedule a delivery.
Some little tricksters got the Superintendent good today!
We received a call from the railroad this morning that they will be closing the crossing by the post office again today between 8:30 - 9:00. They said that it most likely WILL NOT be open by the time school is over.
BOTH railroad crossings in town are closed (Bluford rd. and South Ave.) You will need to take Markham City Rd. to get to school.
We received word that the rail crossing on Bluford Rd. by the post office will be closed all day tomorrow, December 8. The crossing at Auburn Ln., west of town will also be closed. Please use the crossing at South Ave. or Markham City Rd.
Congratulations to our October BGS students of the month!
