Representatives, Chris Wernette & Kathryn Harenda, of the Mecosta-Canadian Lakes Chapter of The Michigan Association of Retired School Personnel recently awarded a $1,000 grant to Big Rapids High School Technology teacher, Michele Selzer and Principal, Ron Pincumbe. The grant money will be used to purchase a system that allows our technology students to create a professional video production, which includes a more high-tech sound system, a teleprompter, and better lighting, optics, and stability for the Big Rapids High School’s daily video announcements. This system will give students a great opportunity to prepare them with 21st century skills and learning.

🚌Oh, The Places Our Buses Go — Safely!
It’s National School Bus Safety Week, and we’re celebrating the incredible team that keeps our Cardinals safe every single day!
Each day, BRPS buses carry 1,372 students across 1,023 miles — and by week’s end, that’s 5,115 miles and more than 6,800 safe rides completed! 🚦 That would be like driving to Florida every day or driving from New York City to Las Vegas, Nevada AND BACK each week!
From early mornings to afternoon drop-offs, our drivers and transportation staff make safety their top priority — and we’re so thankful for the care, smiles, and dedication they show on every route. ❤️

🎉 Celebrating Our Principals! 🎉

Thank you to our principals for leading with dedication, heart, and a commitment to helping every student thrive. We’re so grateful for all that you do! 🙌
