❤️ A Random Act of Cardinal Kindness 💙
Today, our administration team took time to surprise local businesses with a random act of Cardinal kindness, thanking them for the support they provide our schools throughout the year. They signed thank-you cards and delivered “We Are BR” stickers as a reminder that our schools and community are strongest when we work together.
A special thank you to Cranker’s for hosting breakfast for our administration team this morning—we appreciate your hospitality and continued support!
We are grateful for the partnerships, generosity, and care that make a difference for our students and staff. Together, we are BR.
