For the sixth consecutive year, Wesco and Pepsi are partnering to donate $20,000 to local public high schools through our annual Pepsi Challenge. Thanks to Pepsi's generous financial support, this program allows our customers to make a difference in their communities simply by purchasing a fountain drink at Wesco.
From October 26 through December 30, 2026, two cents from every qualifying fountain drink sold at participating Wesco locations will go toward supporting local public high schools, until the $20,000 goal is reached.
Each participating high school is guaranteed a minimum donation of $100, with the remaining funds distributed based on fountain drink sales at the Wesco locations supporting each school.
Big Rapids High School has been selected as one of the participating high schools! Go Cards!

🏈 31 Years of Cardinal Football Dedication!
At halftime of Friday night's final home game, we proudly recognized retired BRPS Technology Director Joe Bouman for an incredible 31 years of keeping stats for our varsity football team!
For more than three decades, Joe traveled near and far, never missing a game, to support our Cardinals from the press box.
Thank you, Joe, for your remarkable dedication, loyalty, and commitment to Cardinal Football! Once a Cardinal, always a Cardinal!

Mornings are busy. Groceries are expensive. We've got breakfast covered! ❤️
Did you know that eating breakfast can help students improve their focus, memory, energy, and readiness to learn?
At Big Rapids Public Schools, FREE breakfast is available to every student, every school day!
That's one less meal to prepare, one less expense for your family, and a great way to help your Cardinal start the day strong!
🍎 Encourage your child to stop by the school cafeteria for breakfast each morning. At Eastwood, breakfast is served right in the classroom!
Less morning stress. More breakfast success.

🔧 Exploring Opportunities. Building Futures! 🛠️
Today, a group of Big Rapids High School students visited Ferris State University for Jill of All Trades, an event designed to inspire young women to explore careers in skilled trades and technology!
During the event, students had the opportunity to learn about exciting career pathways, connect with female mentors, and discover opportunities in industries where women are making their mark.
We love seeing our Cardinals step outside the classroom, explore new possibilities, and discover where their futures might take them!
