What do Mr. Ruggles, Mr. Hartshorn and Hayden Wilkins all have in common? They had some of the most successful March Madness brackets in the SJA Bracket Challenge last year. However, nobody beat Mr. Lacroix who swept the competition winning both the men’s and women’s brackets. Will he keep the title or will someone new rise to the occasion and take the title? Let’s find out… March Madness is on! The Junior Class will be selling brackets the next three days at lunch for an opportunity to win bragging rights, Dunkin Donuts for your advisory, and the ability to donate the winning proceeds to a charity of your choice. Brackets are $3 for one or $5 for a men’s and women’s bracket each. Come see us at lunch to join the Madness!
