Secondary School Spirit Days next week!!!
Good morning. Today, Monday, December 12, Brunswick CSD will be operating under a 2 hour delay.
At the end of each sports season, the NYSPHSAA honors those teams and individuals that excel in the classroom. Those student-athletes, teams, and schools work very hard throughout the year and deserve to be recognized for their academic success.
To receive Scholar-Athlete team recognition with a certificate, the team’s average GPA for 75% of the roster must be greater than or equal to 90.00. The following Tamarac teams have earned this recognition:
• Boys Cross Country
• Girls Cross Country
• Golf
• Football
• Boys Soccer
• Girls Soccer
• Volleyball
Well done, Bengals! Keep up the hard work!
Mark your calendars for our important dates in December!
