BRECKENRIDGE CROSS COUNTRY FINISHES STRONG !
Breckenridge High School Girls Team:
This team was phenomenal this season as they brought home a lot of hardware and reached many goals. They
won the small school divisions at the Shepherd, Lancer and Delta College Invites. The Holly Invite brought
home a 4th place trophy facing larger schools. Our team was runner up at the Portage Invite behind the state
winners of Sacred Heart Academy. We placed second in the league behind Sacred Heart Academy as well as
placing runner up in the small school division at the Alma College Invite behind Pewamo-Westphalia. The
team was runner up at regionals and took an overall 5th place in Division 4 Sate Finals. Chloe Brittain ended
her cross country career as a 4 time cross country all-state runner. She was 18th her freshman year, 14th her
sophomore year, 12th her junior year, and as a senior this year she took 11th place at State Finals. Annie
Laurenz was 22nd at this year’s finals and is another tough competitor who will return next year to help lead
her team. Congratulations!!
Breckenridge High School Boys Team:
This team was very young but produced some improving results. They set a goal last summer at cross country
camp, and it was to have seven runners under 20 minutes for a 5k. They had their top eight 19:28 or faster.
Their goals were met and exceeded expectations for the season and this team is going to be very good in the
future. A couple of 8th graders will join this young team next year and as a team they are already making plans
for a great year of training, setting team and personal goals. It will be an even more exciting season next year
for our guys as they continue to improve. Congratulations!
Breckenridge Middle School Girls Team:
This is a very young team as well. The team consisted of three 6th graders, one 7th grader, and two 8th graders
and they all worked well together. The girls worked hard all season to capture two of three MSAC meets and
ran small in numbers but always big in heart. More numbers are expected next year and they are going to be a
good team as they continue to work. Megan Goward led her team this year and posted very impressive times.
Great job girls!
Breckenridge Middle School Boys Team:
This team is very young also and to say it was certainly special would be an understatement as this group
posted very impressive results. They brought home the Shepherd Blue Jay Invite overall trophy, took the run-
ner up trophy in the small school division at the Delta College and Alma College Invites and were named
MSAC champions. This team finished 42nd best in the whole state. These boys stepped up when it counted the
most and they all definitely made a name for themselves. This team had the best middle school runner in the
state of Mason Sumner. He led in the 2 mile/3200m distances by nearly 6 seconds. They are a team that every-
one already knows and will know in the future. Congratulations!
DAR Good Citizens Award
Congratulations! Ellen Laurenz
The DAR Good Citizens Award and Scholarship Contest, created in 1934, is intended to encourage and reward the qualities of good citi-

Students of the Month
October 2017
Middle School—6th grade - The 6th grade Student of the Month is Mauricio
Acevedo. Mauricio has displayed characteristics of what we hope to see in a 6th grader. He has been
especially helpful during Directed Study after his work is finished offering his help to get other stu-
dents organized, assist them with homework, and do any odd jobs that his teacher needs. We are
proud of how he has started his year at Breckenridge Middle School. He is nomi-
nated by the 6th grade teachers.
7th grade—Madison is a very sweet girl who is always kind and respectful to
both her teachers and her classmates. She works hard in class and gets very good
grades. We are proud to have her here at Breckenridge Middle School. Madison
was nominated by Mrs. Wolfgang.
8th grade - Jace Horman was nominated as 8th grade student of the month by Mrs. Willman. Jace is a very mature and responsible young man who is al-ways willing to help out. He has a wonderful sense of humor and he adds a lot of personality to our class.
High School Tyler Story is the High School Student of the Month, he is a great student leader,
taking on Homecoming and all the activities associated with it and doing a
great job. He was the MC of the homecoming assembly, had a part in planning
the assembly and was around all week showing his school spirit. We are proud
to have Tyler Story as a student at BHS.

apolis, Indiana. In the group picture from right to left is Garrett Sigafoose, Alex
Cutting, Alexa Aldrich, Gabby Stoneman, Mrs. Katie Eisenberger, Olivia

Lots of fun and exciting things happening
in and out of the FFA classroom
We recently just brought down our 7th grade agri-science and Zoology students to
experience the State FFA Boiler contest with having just raised chickens in the
school barn.
The greenhouse project is coming along quickly. The construction crew is
hard at work everyday with the construction of our new greenhouse. We're
very thankful our students will have a new facility to experience and learn
more about growing flowers.
Walmart and WMLM team up to acknowledge a student from Gratiot
County each week. Sydney Mayle was the student for September, Tyler
Story was selected for October and Haley Willman for November, all
were chosen for their involvement around the school. They are members
of NHS, Student Council and athletic teams. They do all those activities
and manage to keep their grades at a high level. We are proud to have
each of these students represent Breckenridge High School.
