This week BRMS 6th grade students participated in a field trip to Legends Ranch and the Wildlife Center in Bitley MI. Students were educated on the importance of ecosystem management, habitat protection, and animal- people interactions and what different roles people, especially 6th graders, can play in having a positive impact for now and our future. Students were also shown what role genetics play in growing world class animals and how that is managed at Legends Ranch. Students toured the Wildlife Gallery and spent some time snowshoeing through a nature trail. A huge thank you to the staff and their awesome tour guides.

Last night at the Board of Education meeting, we were proud to recognize our secretaries and clerical paraprofessionals for their outstanding service to our district.
