Big Rapids High School held Cardinal Care Day today, providing students with valuable lessons on health, safety, and well-being. Throughout the morning, students attended four sessions focused on substance abuse education, online safety education, mental health education, and healthy relationships.
This annual event helps equip students with knowledge and resources to navigate challenges and make informed decisions. By fostering awareness and open discussions, Cardinal Care Day continues to support a positive and healthy school environment at BRHS.
Thank you to our BRHS Counseling team for organizing this educational event and to all our speakers for navigating these topics with care.
