John Burroughs School Updates
Bombers win! Which class will take home the ultimate reward?!
We did it! Thanks to our 189 donors from the classes of 2009 to 2024, JBS dominated MICDS. Every gift made a difference, and we’re so proud of our Bombers for stepping up to take home the win.
Our JBS Class Participation Challenge is taking the court this weekend, and we still need 11 donors to reach our overall goal of 200. Make your gift before Monday at 9 AM CST to have a positive impact while boosting your class on the scoreboard.
The Class of 2009 is holding onto the top spot, eyeing a back-to-back championship—but, as more alums join in, anything can happen. See where your class ranks.
