Alex was our final recipient, taking home 12 homemade cookies—and they didn’t even make it past lunch break! 😄
No worries though… he shared the Virtchmas love! 🍪❤️
Nothing but love at the Virtch! Izzy was surrounded by 11 Hershey Kisses and all the sweet Virtchmas vibes.
She’s going to be busy over break! 🧩

❤️ A Random Act of Cardinal Kindness 💙
Today, our administration team took time to surprise local businesses with a random act of Cardinal kindness, thanking them for the support they provide our schools throughout the year. They signed thank-you cards and delivered “We Are BR” stickers as a reminder that our schools and community are strongest when we work together.
A special thank you to Cranker’s for hosting breakfast for our administration team this morning—we appreciate your hospitality and continued support!
