January 29th Update

Good morning Jeep Nation, we are back and we have to warn you, we have a lot of news this morning. Our Jeeps competed in multiple events over the past four days and we have to give you the highlights and results so let’s get started!

Our Lady Jeeps have three games this week:

The Lady Jeeps face Jackson tonight at home (Monday.) It is also senior night. They play Valley tomorrow (Tuesday) here at home in a makeup contest. That game will begin at 4:30 p.m. The Lady Jeeps travel to Minford on Thursday.

The boys play East on Tuesday, at Northwest on Friday and travel to Waverly on Saturday. The Saturday contest will begin at 4:00 p.m.

The Junior High Basketball Tournament starts this weekend at 10 a.m. Brackets to be released in the next day.

As we reported on Friday, one of our mock trial teams advanced to regional competition. After getting everything sorted out the team that advanced is the Lucky Charms, our JV team. They will be competing on February 16th. We will pass more information onto everyone as we get it. Congratulations to everyone who participated and also to their advisor Mrs. Hykes. Great job!

On Saturday five teams of our engineering students competed in Lucasville in the VEX Robotics competition. All five of the teams competed in the finals, which is a feat in itself. Our senior team, pictured below, is the team that won and will be competing in the state competition that is held in Columbus on March 10th. Way to go Robotic Jeeps!

From Mrs. Darcee Claxon:

Join us for a Valentine’s 5K on February 10th and help students raise money for their Europe trip. Run because you love to run, run because you really love Valentine’s chocolate, walk because that’s your love, or just donate because you love our awesome student travelers!

Pre-register by February 2 for $15 and guarantee your t-shirt. Race day registration is $20. You can get registration forms from participating students.

Overall winners will receive a gift card for a scrumptious restaurant!

Renaissance Cards will be passed out this week.

That’s all we have for now Jeep Nation, it’s going to be another busy week here at Bloom-Vernon and we wouldn’t have it any other way. We will be back periodically throughout the week to keep everyone updated! Have a great week and as always…GO JEEPS!
