Friday Focus - Santa Claus came to BG!!
Santa made an early visit to Little Bison Pre-school yesterday, and ALL our Little Bison made the NICE LIST!! The joy and anticipation were palpable, what a joy this program brings to our school. In the background is a large gingerbread house, built by our students in Geometry in Construction class. This was the backdrop for our Gingerbread house fundraiser last week, which raised $2,000 for a local Veteran, through A Soldier’s Journey Home program. This Spring, our Geometry in Construction class will build the walls for veteran SPC Anthony Chobanov’s brand new home, and help with the on-site construction in May, giving him the keys when they are finished!

Buffalo Grove's Kurt Kutska puts Prospect wrestling roots to good use
Chicago Tribune, December 11, 2016
With his former high school coach just a few feet away at the scorer's table, Kurt Kutska enjoyed the experience of coaching his Buffalo Grove squad Friday night against Prospect. The mere mention of Gary McMorrow, Kutska's former coach at Prospect in the mid-90s and a recent Illinois Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association Hall of Fame inductee, still brings a quick smile to Kutska's face. Prospect defeated Buffalo Grove 47-19. "(McMorrow) always reminds me of what I could have been if I had come back to wrestle my senior year for him in 1996," said Kutska, who took over for Jeff Vlk this season when Vlk became the head football coach for the Bison.

Buffalo Grove boys basketball team weathers series of tough tests
Chicago Tribune, December 8, 2016
Buffalo Grove had been in this position before. On Feb. 23 of this very year, in fact. The boys basketball team was visiting Mid-Suburban League rival Barrington on that date and trailed by double digits after the first half. The Bison never recovered and lost 63-47. Comparisons end there, however. Read Story
