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.
Share your shout-outs by using this form: https://forms.gle/sAi94p8decyaWoiS8

Both students have been named 2025 MSBOA Outstanding Jazz Musicians at the State Jazz Festival! 🎉 Each judge was allowed to select up to three musicians from the entire site—making this honor incredibly selective and competitive. With so many talented jazz musicians across Michigan, this recognition truly speaks to their exceptional skill and dedication.
