Bronco Chronicles
Volume 7, Week 10/3-10/7/16
Principal's Message
Goooooood Morning #BroncoStrong faulty and staff. The seventh week of school has been stupendous. Our clubs are up and running and the kids seem to really be enjoying them and it is cool to watch them make connections with their club sponsors. Also, we had our first junior high pep rally which kids loved and were super pumped about!
Don't forget - Monday we work from 12:30-7pm. Mrs. Kolb and I will bring chicken spaghetti pasta and salad. If anyone wants to bring food as well, we will set up the food in room 5. Finally, start planning for our Phone-A-Thon competition. Remember, the winning teacher will win an instructional poster and I will sub for you while you catch up on grades and lesson planning. Now let's make this the best Friday of the week!
There is a HERO in every teacher and every student every student
