Every year, 5th grade teacher Hailey Clifford brings "My Teacher Is an Alien" to life for her students. She reads the book aloud and builds suspense with each chapter. On the very last day of reading the book, she surprises her class by inviting an alien to greet the class! It’s a moment her students never forget and a tradition that makes reading magical.

This message is from the City of Big Rapids and particularly pertains to our Middle School families:


Subject: Traffic & Sidewalk Advisory: Michigan St. & Pine St. Construction

Dear Community Members,

The City has begun construction at the intersection of Michigan Street and Pine Street, near the Elks Lodge. Please note the following changes:

Michigan Street will remain open, but traffic will be narrowed through the construction zone.

The east-side sidewalk on Michigan Street (by the Elks Lodge) will be closed during the project.

The west-side sidewalk (by the roller rink) will remain open for pedestrians.

As this intersection experiences heavy traffic after school, we encourage families, students, and drivers to plan accordingly and use extra caution in the area.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as these improvements are made.

Today, BRMS 6th graders visited the 9/11 Memorial at the Big Rapids Department of Public Safety with their teacher, Mr. King. Students observed a memorial service led by AMVETS Post 1941 & American Legion Post 98, and heard from firefighter Sean Wethington about the events of 9/11 and the creation of our local memorial.

A powerful reminder and humbling experience for our students. ❤️🤍💙
