During Teacher Appreciation Week (May 6-10), 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 only our teachers, but all staff members across departments such as food service, front office, maintenance, transportation, administration, and paraprofessionals.
Please submit your shout-outs using this google form: https://forms.gle/uAwzkDZoFUc2yvqJ7
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 6th, and while the submission form closes on May 10th, personal notes of encouragement are always welcomed and valued.
Thank you for helping us celebrate and appreciate our Big Rapids Public Schools teachers and staff.
