First, I'm thrilled that Cheryl Kampsen will be at tonight's home boys' basketball game! She is a beloved member of our B-B-E community who has devoted countless hours to promoting Jaguar sports over the better part of the last 15 years. Her four children were all B-B-E Jaguar student-athletes back in the 2000s.
The COVID-19 rules and other related matters have made it very difficult for reporters and photographers to do their thing. I talked to Cheryl this morning, and she's really excited to come and take in a basketball game! Tonight the B-B-E Jaguars boys' basketball team hosts Atwater-Cosmos-Grove City. Cheryl has taken all the pressure off of me in terms of promoting the Jaguars via social media. (And we all know how good she is at what she does!) And when asked, she is always gracious enough to share pictures with the school.
In other news, B-B-E is promoting the idea of more collaboration amongst the youngest students in the classroom, news that parents across the district are celebrating as we speak. This issue was given light reference in this week's Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper in the school board story. I am absolutely thrilled to see the school pushing ahead on it.
At B-B-E, we don't settle for status quo or "the bare minimum" whether it's in academics or our activities!
