We kicked off our shout-out campaign earlier this week, and we’ve already seen several wonderful messages come in — thank you! ❤️
As we continue celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week, don’t forget you can still recognize any BRPS staff member who’s made a difference — teachers, support staff, office team, bus drivers, and more.
It only takes a minute to brighten someone’s day!

During Teacher Appreciation Week (May 5-9), we extend our gratitude to all our dedicated staff members at BRPS.
This year, we're opening up shout-out submissions to celebrate and recognize not just our teachers, but all staff members across departments such as food service, front office, maintenance, transportation, administration, and paraprofessionals.
A 'shout-out' can be submitted by adults or students, with no limit on submissions. These messages will be shared throughout the week of May 5th, and while the submission form closes on May 9th, personal notes of encouragement are always welcomed and valued.

The Devons, hailing from our Great State, were here to visit Brookside on Friday morning. They have written a collection of books and, with a grant from West Michigan Credit Union, were able to gift a lovely picture book to the 1st and 2nd graders as well as a gripping chapter book to the 3rd and 4th graders. Make sure to ask your students about their books and the stories behind them! Thank You for visiting our school today and also for our books!
The Grounds Crew was working hard at cleaning up the playground today!! Nice work team!!
We have been having fun these last few weeks earning our steps!! Keep up the great reading Brookside!!
