GO BRONCOS!!!
🏈 A SEASON TO REMEMBER. MAKING HISTORY. ❤️🖤
What a season for Union Grove Girls Flag Football! We finished with a 5-1 record, took second place in the conference, and earned third place at the Bay Port Tournament.
This team was made up of a great mix of girls who came together, learned the game, and made the most of every opportunity. We played with grit, competed with heart, and showed that we deserve to be part of this sport.
From learning the fundamentals to making history at Union Grove and across the state, this season was about so much more than wins and losses. It was about building confidence, supporting one another, and creating something special together.
We are incredibly proud of every girl who helped make this season unforgettable. A special thank-you to Olivia Braun, our only senior, for her leadership and for being an important part of this historic first season.

🧠🎬 Who’s on your mind? Our AP Psychology students put their knowledge to the test by creating celebrity brain posters! Students chose anyone from real-life celebrities to fictional characters, living or dead, and analyzed how five different parts of the brain contribute to their chosen subject’s thoughts, behaviors, and actions.
Great work, AP Psych students, putting psychology into perspective! Thanks to Ms. Buchanan for sharing this project with us! 👏
