So proud of our Clothing and Textile students! They created their very own cuddly friends—choosing between a dinosaur or a bear—and did an amazing job from start to finish!

Another strong night for Bureau Valley basketball!

Our boys’ Freshmen team represented well at the St. Bede Holiday Jamboree, earning two wins and an undefeated finish to the event!

Our girls traveled to A-Town for a Lincoln Trail Conference matchup, with the JV securing a solid victory, while the Varsity team fell short to a talented A-Town team.
