Friday Focus:
What a treat to have guests from the Chicago School of Violin Making visit BGHS to show students how string instruments are made. The students learned so much from these experts and even got to try some of the processes themselves. A beautiful combination of music and science, as careers in music are explored.

All the dominoes were lined up for Buffalo Grove to win a share of its first MSL East Division title, as well as clinching a berth to play in the MSL Championship game next Wednesday if it took care of business by beating Elk Grove for a second time this season after having beat them last month at home by 41 points.
