2024-2025 Baseball Team Tryout Information!
The 2024 Academic Awards Ceremony for Sophomores and Juniors is on May 17th at 12:30pm in the Brookland High School Auditorium. Students who are receiving an academic award were given an invitation to attend the ceremony during English classes earlier this week. Only those students who received an invitation, along with their family members, will attend the ceremony. If a student received an invitation, but will not be attending school on May 17th, they will need to arrive at the auditorium by 12pm to be seated. We are looking forward to celebrating the academic accomplishments of these students!
USDA Summer Meals for Kids Site Finder
USDA works closely with states to ensure that children who receive on free or reduced-price school meals can get the nutrition they need when schools are closed – whether during summer break or unexpected closures during the school year. Through USDA's summer meal programs, approved sites in communities across the country can serve meals to kids up to age 18 at no cost. Families can use this tool to find directions to nearby meal sites, as well as their hours of operation and contact information.
Families seeking food assistance for their children can also contact The USDA National Hunger Hotline, operated by Hunger Free America. The hotline can be reached Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET. at 1-866-3-HUNGRY (1-866-348-6479) (for English) or 1-877-8-HAMBRE (1-877-842-6273) (for Spanish).

One last award for the day for a Bearcat! Matt Stoltz of EAB presented the first EAB Golden Mic to Alex for his outstanding performance as a commentator. Alex called over 50 games without missing a single game that was planned to be aired. He did each game with the same energy while advertising the EAB spots and ads in his commentary. Before becoming a commentator, Alex learned all aspects of a live working control room. He was awarded for his professionalism with in depth research day in and day out for each game, while also creating graphics and his own original spotting charts! Such an awesome award for one of our own! Go do great things, Alex! 🐾
