Friday Focus:
We have one last show in the One Grove Gallery this year that will go over into the first month of the new school year. The one woman show is the work of senior Lucie Greene. Lucie was not only the BG nominee, but was the 2018 District 214 winner of the Richard Calisch Arts Unlimited Award. Come check out her amazing artwork that highlights her four years of hard work here at BG.

Girls track notes: Nya Carr solidifies her spot in Buffalo Grove history
Chicago Tribune, May 20, 2018
Nya Carr allowed herself a sheepish smile when asked about the idea of being one of the best Buffalo Grove girls track athletes of all time. The Buffalo Grove senior owns the program records in the 100- and 200-meter dashes as well as the long jump. A four-time state qualifier, the Arlington Heights resident has done more than most Bison sprinters who came before her. Read Story
Boys track notes: Zach Sheasby makes a big leap to become state-qualifying jumper
Chicago Tribune, May 18, 2018
Zach Sheasby was productive enough catching passes on the gridiron last fall to earn the chance to play football at Wisconsin-Platteville. With that prominent order of business out of the way, the Buffalo Grove senior is finishing his prep sports career this spring as a standout in the triple jump and long jump. Read Story
