Wishing you a joyous holiday season!


Embracing the festive spirit at BRPS!











🙌 THANKFUL THURSDAY 🙌
We are so appreciative of the support of our community! Here's just one reason why:
Last week, Middle School Principal, Josh Bull, dedicated our new BRMS gymnasium scoreboards saying, "These new scoreboards replaced the 50-year-old scoreboards that were previously there. This project was made possible by the partnership with Isabella Bank and our Middle School PTO."
Thank you to all those involved in completing this project!


Shout out to Mr. Hovey's Industrial Arts students who made and delivered this work table to Central Office.
We couldn't be happier or more impressed with the craftsmanship and laser cut BR design!
Thank you Nick, Kaleb, and Cole!




Congrats to 5th and 6th Grade Robotics at BRMS! This weekend we had two teams compete in the Regional Robotics Event and our two teams placed 5th and 1st place overall! The Robo Red Birds will now go on to compete in the State tournament! Way to teams!

The BRPS Facilities & Grounds Department was recognized at last night's Board Meeting for their efforts and dedication in preparing for the 2023-24 school year.
Director, Brian Akey, acknowledged the administration and the Board for providing the department with the much-needed additional resources required to complete all the building upgrades. The existing staff led the charge with the assistance of some district para-pros, teachers, and food service workers. Together, the team was able to accomplish the upgrades and repairs on all school buildings, including an additional building for the 2023-24 year, Eastwood Elementary.
Mr. Akey commended the team for coming together and for all they accomplished. Additionally, he made a point to recognize that each team member took great pride in their work and that it shows in the details of each building that were not overlooked.
We are proud of our Facilities and Grounds team! Your Cardinal Pride shines through!!
