Bronco Chronicles
Volume 9, Week 10/17-10/21/16
Principal's Message
Goooooood Morning #BroncoStrong faulty and staff. The ninth week of school has been nifty! We had a great assembly during TEAM TIME on Wednesday, and I truly appreciate the teachers who helped watch over our kiddos during the assembly so our Math and Science faculty could have a department meeting.
Next week we will recognize and celebrate Red Ribbon Week. Please expect to pass out items to the students during your second period classes. The items will be in your box the day they need to be passed out, so please check your box every morning. In addition, please encourage the kids to participate in our daily themes. Moreover, it would be cool if you participate as well. As always, thank you so very much for everything you do for our kids, school and community. Now, let's make this the BEST Friday of the week!
