Love playing cornhole with your friends? Hancock Youth Leadership is partnering with the Special Olympics on November 19th for a one-day single-elimination cornhole tournament. We are currently looking for teams of two that would be interested! The cost per team is $20. Money can be sent to the VBHS main office. Please have the $20 in an envelope with the members of your team and "Cornhole Tournament" written on the outside. Those who register early will receive a bye in the bracket. Registration also puts you in a drawing for a cornhole board.

Parents, if you have a sophomore, junior, or senior considering a career in healthcare, you might want to have your student look at the job opportunities at Blanchard Valley Health System (https://bvhs.jobs.net/). They have a variety of positions available, and many are open to students aged 16+ who are looking for summer, after-school, or full-time jobs.
Experience is a great teacher, and the experience students gain now could help solidify their future career paths. Students might also figure out that a career in healthcare is not what they want to pursue, and that's still a win.
If students have any questions about careers or the opportunities at BVHS, they can schedule a meeting with Mr. Bratt at bit.ly/VBcareeradvising (URL is case-sensitive).
The Board of Education would like to share the following message with our community.
