The BRHS Junior Student Council is collecting new or gently used shoes to help raise money for Prom!
This Friday (Jan. 16th), bring a pair of shoes to any home BRHS basketball game and receive a FREE popcorn from the concession stand as a thank-you for your donation.
Can’t make it to the game? No problem!
Shoes will be accepted through the end of February.
Clean out your closet, support our students, and help make Prom a night to remember! 💃🕺
We’d love for our community to join us in thanking the Big Rapids Board of Education! 💙❤️
Last night, we had the opportunity to shower our Board with a few small gifts, and we hope they truly felt the appreciation behind them. Their time, dedication, and commitment to our students, staff, and community make a lasting impact every day.
Please help us celebrate and thank our Board for all they do for BRPS!
Phone service has been restored at all our buildings.
We thank you for your patience.

❤️ 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.
