Bronco Update

Week of October 19-23

BroncoUpdateWeek of October 19-23

DIDN'T ORDER SCHOOL PHOTOS? YOU STILL CAN.

Don't miss your chance to preserve this magical stage of life—when braces, questionable hairstyles, and awkward smiles come together to create memories that will last a lifetime (and provide excellent material for future graduation parties and wedding slideshows).

Order your photos today at mylifetouch.com using Picture Day ID: EVT9TVX4R.

Because someday, your child will insist they were never awkward. It's good to have photographic evidence. 😂

Saturday School Tomorrow 8-12 in JH Library

Students have been notified and should bring work and a library book. If you are not sure if your student has Saturday School, here's how to figure it out:

  • For every UNEXCUSED ABSENCE over 5 (even 1 period in a day), students are assigned ONE DAY of Saturday School.
Skipping Saturday School will result in an additional unexcused absence, with an additional day of Saturday School. Students were counseled in the last week how to determine if they have it or not and that they need to change their Saturday plans or work schedule to attend Satuday School.

For questions on Saturday School, contact Cody.Womack@BreckenridgeISD.org

“We spend more time preparing the path for the child than preparing the child for the path.”

Coach Durham reminded us of this quote today. At our BJHS, we believe our job is not to remove every obstacle from our students’ paths—it is to prepare them to navigate those obstacles.

We are intentionally teaching students to take ownership, solve problems, persevere through difficulty, accept responsibility, and learn from mistakes. We will support our students, encourage them, and provide the tools they need to succeed—but we also believe in letting them struggle productively, experience consequences, and grow through challenges.

Because someday, we won’t be there to clear the path.


Our goal is to prepare students for the path—not pave it for them.

A Huge Thank You to Vero Fiber!

Check out the Facebook Post HERE. Vero will donate $500 to the school when the post reaches 500 Likes.

Breckenridge High School would like to extend our sincere thanks to Vero Fiber for their generous donation of a brand-new concession stand refrigerator after our previous unit unexpectedly broke down.

This donation will help us continue serving our students, families, and fans during athletic events and school activities without interruption. Community partnerships like this make a tremendous difference, and we are grateful for Vero Fiber’s commitment to supporting our school and local community.

Please join us in thanking Vero Fiber for stepping up when we needed it most!

STEP INTO THE ARENA

​"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."​ – Theodore Roosevelt
