We are proud to announce that BGS is one of 142 Early Childhood programs recognized at the Gold level from the Illinois State Board of Education.



We are currently looking for a Pee Wee (3rd and 4th grade) girls basketball coach. Last year, there was not a team because not enough girls signed up, but eight girls are interested in playing this year, so now we are looking for a parent volunteer. If you are interested, please contact Mrs. Henson at the school.

Mr. Jeff got a new piece of equipment today. This will be a little safer than that 28' extension ladder.


A special thank you to Captain Weeks and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department for demonstrating the capabilities of his K-9 today for our third grade!


Part time employment opportunities at BUSD!

The school district now has two separate phone numbers for the grade school and high school. The grade school can still be reached at 732-8242 and the high school number is 732-6121.
Pictures tomorrow will be for the following:
high school retakes
high school fall sports

We have not yet received the grade school pictures, so grade school retakes are going to be rescheduled for October 4.
