Congrats to Jaden Browning last night. He competed at the Norfolk Classic in the 800 and brought home a 5th-place medal!

This week's Bancroft-Rosalie FFA sponsor highlight is Oakland Meat Processing. Our Animal Health class had the opportunity to dissect beef hearts this week (and we gave an extra to the Biology class). The large hearts give the students an opportunity to really look at the pathways, chambers, and muscles. In the past, Oakland Meat Processing has also provided beef digestive systems for us to examine. I also highly recommend their jerky! Stop by and grab a package or two when you're in town.

The Panther Junior High Track & Field team competes today in the Oakland-Craig JH Invitational at Oakland. Best of luck to all our athletes—go Panthers! 🐾💙

Team B-R SMARTS competed against area schools at the Battle of the Books competition held at ESU2 in Fremont. Prior to the competition, students were required to read 10 books as a team, write 15 questions over the content in each story and create a team name and logo in preparation for the event. The competition consisted of 3 quickfire rounds of questions, a writing event, and a performance challenge requiring students to re-create a scene from one of the stories. The B-R SMARTS team chose Odder by Katherine Applegate and presented the scene where Odder bravely helps save her friend from a shark attack, but is bitten in the process. B-R SMARTS brought home the creativity award for the best costume design. Team members consisted of Oliver Bridges, Sienna Froehlich, Sydney Harrington, Mason Meyer, and Ryley Sila.

IMPORTANT::

Former Bancroft-Rosalie athlete Elliott Nottlemann is having an excellent year for the Wildcats. In field events, sophomore Elliott Nottlemann had a personal-best mark of 23’ 2 ½” in the long jump to finish third. Congrats Elliott!

Happy May Day!
