🎳 What a Fun Day for BRVS! 🎳
Students from Big Rapids Virtual School (BRVS) had a great time on their recent field trip to the bowling alley! It was a day full of strikes, spares, laughter, and plenty of friendly competition.
Opportunities like this give students a chance to connect, build relationships, and enjoy time together outside of their regular learning environment. Thank you to everyone who helped make the day possible!

Good morning—Big Rapids Public Schools will have a 3-hour delay today, Thursday, February 19th, due to fog and poor visibility.
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. They were presented with Certificates of Recognition honoring their commitment to excellence and the countless ways they help our schools run smoothly, each and every day.
Their dedication, professionalism, and behind-the-scenes support play an essential role in the success of our students, staff, and schools. We are incredibly grateful for all they do.
Join us in showing them some appreciation!
