Bataan and Bunker Hill will play in the 5th and 6th place game. Belleau Wood and Valley Forge continued their struggle, but they will get a chance to play each other for their first win of the week.

Every night, the delegates of Boys’ State engage in leadership discussions; sharing experiences from their lives that have made them who they are. Bunker Hill’s discussion was on “What It Takes?”, opened up on what they believe it takes to be, not just a good leader, but a good citizen. These discussions provide a unique opportunity for the delegates to open up about topics that they may never have shared or thought about before and to learn from those who have lived very different lives.

The city of Bunker Hill kicked off its first school board meeting of the year, and boy did people turn up. On the agenda were topics such as a cell phone ban in school and drug testing for participation in extracurriculars. Public comment centered on the cell phone ban which saw multiple “parents” show concern about reaching their students at school. Eventually, the board amended the policy to allow keeping phones but include disciplinary action for disruptive use in the classroom, and passed the amended policy making it the first broad policy on personal technology in the district.
