Breckenridge Athletics Weekly Update [8/25–8/31]
The first full week of fall sports brought plenty of excitement for Huskie fans. Varsity football opened the season with a big win under the lights, JV football exploded offensively in their victory, and both volleyball teams swept Merrill in convincing fashion. On the equestrian side, Lauralei turned in a championship performance at Districts, while the sideline cheer squad kept the Friday night energy alive. Cross country and girls golf were idle, but the buzz around Breckenridge athletics is only growing.
Still working on getting pictures from all sports. I don’t have football action shots yet, but we’ll get those added soon!

The Huskies are off to a strong start across multiple sports, with both team and individual performances giving the community plenty to cheer about.
Elementary Homecoming Spirit Week Days!
Homecoming is September 19th!
As we return to school, I’m reminded every day of the true purpose that drives us as educators. Day-to-day challenges will always come up, but seeing our students learning, growing, and engaging with their teachers gives us the energy to keep moving forward. Whether it’s a hug from a kindergartener, a high five from a third grader, or a middle schooler asking “How tall is Mr. Poling?” these moments remind us why we do what we do.
Our teachers are focusing on teaching routines and procedures, taking the time to explain not just the “how,” but also the “why” behind what we do. Understanding expectations helps students feel confident and sets them up for success in and out of the classroom.
Our students are our purpose and our goal. By working together—staff, families, and students—one team, one goal, every student thrives. Thank you for supporting your child’s learning at home and helping us create an environment where every student can grow and succeed.
Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend! We look forward to welcoming students back refreshed and ready for another great week of learning.

Go Huskies!
It was a big opening week for Breckenridge Athletics as our Huskies made their mark across multiple sports. The volleyball teams hit the court strong with varsity storming through an undefeated quad and JV showing promise at Saranac. Cross country runners battled through the Happy Acres Invite, with the boys taking home a first-place team finish and the girls securing a top-five spot. On the links, girls golf impressed in their first home match of the season, finishing just four strokes off the top spot. Meanwhile, Lauralei McGill continued to shine in equestrian, proving she’s one to watch heading into district competition.
