🏀 Thanksgiving Tournament Wrap-Up ⚡️
A big thank you to all the teams, fans, and volunteers who made this year’s Bureau Valley Girls’ Basketball Thanksgiving Tournament a great three-day event!
JV Update:
BV JV battled hard but fell to Riverdale 33–38. Congratulations to Erie-Prophetstown on capturing the JV title.
Varsity Championship:
The Storm came up short in the championship game, falling to a very strong Riverdale team 45–71. We clawed back to single digits multiple times, but their hot shooting proved tough to overcome. Congrats to Riverdale on earning the tournament crown.
All-Tournament Team:
Huge congratulations to Brynley Doty and Libby Endress on being selected to the BV Thanksgiving Tournament All-Tournament Team! Well deserved!

Computer Applications students spend the semester exploring a variety of Google Apps. In Google Sheets, they’re introduced to the basics of coding through conditional formatting—a tool that allows them to assign colors to numbers and create unique pixel-style images. After mastering Google’s suite of applications, students will transition to learning how to navigate and use Microsoft Office programs effectively


Consumer Education students just wrapped up their tax unit. To apply what they learned, students used mock personal information to practice completing the W-4, W-2, and 1040 tax forms.
