Bismarck-Henning Rossville-Alvin Cooperative High School Daily Announcements Friday, April 8th, 2022
Announcements
Please disregard any schedule that may have shown up for the 2022-2023 school year. Mrs. Stephens was attempting a test run of scheduling to set up the master schedule and did not realize that these were open for student/parent viewing. Finalized schedules for the 2022-2023 school year will be available to view in August. An email will be sent out letting students & parents know they are ready to view and finalized.
Just a reminder, once schedules are finalized in August, schedules will only be changed if there is an error, not to align schedules between friends or to move class times just because.
The boys finished third and the girls finished fifth overall in a 13 team invitational at Southfork last night. Top performers at the meet include: Ella McFarland second place in both the high jump and triple jump and Audrey Taylor third place in the shotput with Amber Christine read third place in the long jump. For the boys; Emerson Thorlton finished first in the 3200 run and second in the 1600, Murphy McCool took first in the 400 and in the 100, the 1600 m relay and mid distance relay teams took second and the 400 relay and 800 relay teams took third. Great efforts and PR's by many in very cold conditions! There will be no girls track practice tonight after school.
