February is National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month. One in three teens in the US is a victim of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse from a dating partner. These violent relationships have serious consequences for victims – putting them at higher risk for substance abuse, eating disorders, risky sexual behavior, suicide and adult re-victimization. Clove Alliance is excited to offer education and awareness opportunities about Teen Dating Violence for students and educators.

VOLLEYBALL TRYOUTS ARE STARTING TODAY!
We wanted to recognize our 2022 Speech Team. Last Saturday, November 5th, the BUGC Speech Team performed in Crescent City at the IESA State Speech Contest along with 10 other schools. There were 9 students who performed, and each group, duet, and solo received a 1 rating, which is the highest of the 3 ratings you can receive in speech. I was so proud of each of them.
Once the day is done, each judge picks their top choice for each category- solo, duet acting, improv, group acting etc. One of our duet groups was chosen as a Judge's Choice for Duet Acting of the day. The group that received this honor were 7th grade students Alyssa Pfeiffer and Vivian Miletich. This was each girl's first time participating in speech team. To receive this honor is a big deal, but to receive this in their first year participating is an even bigger deal. Both girls worked extremely hard, and I am so proud of them and wanted to recognize them for their hard work, dedication, and talent. They will be receiving a certificate from IESA soon.
