BON APPÉTIT BRMS! 5th graders this week enjoyed a "book tasting "
Students read books from their new Adventure/Survival unit in a café-styled classroom (Pressley’s Cafe of course)
The goal was for them to “taste-test” new genres that they’ve never tried before. Students were served hot chocolate and cookies while they read and wrote reviews for the new books in the classroom.

🏒 Cardinal Spirit on Full Display! 🏒
Today, Friday, January 16, our 8th–12th grade students had the opportunity to attend the Big Rapids High School hockey game against Grand Rapids Catholic Central — and it was incredible to see our students show up and support our programs.
While the Cardinals didn’t come away with the win on the scoreboard, the Cardinal Spirit in the stands was victorious. Seeing students cheer on their peers and represent BR with pride is what school community is all about.
A huge thank you to the staff who made this experience possible — from scheduling and transportation to event coordination and entertainment. Your behind-the-scenes work created a memorable day for our students.
Cardinal Pride always wins!
