Wayback Wednesday 🏀✨
Today we’re rolling the clock all the way back to the 1990–91 Van Buren County Girls and Boys Basketball Teams!
Big hair, bold uniforms, buzzer beaters, and that classic gym-floor shine — this crew brought the energy every single game. Whether it was fast breaks, full-court presses, or the loudest student section cheering them on, these athletes helped build the strong basketball tradition we’re proud of today.
Here’s to the players, coaches, and fans who made the 90–91 season unforgettable. 💛🦅
If you were part of these teams — or cheering from the stands — let us know your favorite memory below!

Mrs. Shawna’s class got creative and made their very own long-legged turkeys — with no pattern at all! Just scissors, imagination, and a whole lot of fun! 🎨✂️
Each turkey is totally unique and bursting with personality… and aren’t they just adorable?! 😍
We love seeing our students express themselves and take pride in their one-of-a-kind creations! 🌟
