We wrapped up Winter Spirit Week in a big way with Red Out Day! ❤️
Students and staff showed their school spirit by wearing red from head to toe, filling the halls with bright, cheerful energy. It was a fun and festive way to celebrate a great week of spirit and togetherness as we ended Winter Spirit Week on a high note.
Winter Spirit Week kept the excitement going with Favorite Sports Apparel Day, as students proudly wore jerseys, team hoodies, and colors representing their favorite teams. The halls were full of team spirit and friendly smiles. Hat Day followed, bringing lots of fun and creativity as students showed off cozy winter hats, silly styles, and favorite caps. It was a great way to stay warm and celebrate school spirit together during winter spirit week. ❄️🧢🏈
Winter Spirit Week kicked off with lots of smiles and school spirit at Riverview Elementary! Students and staff embraced Comfy Day, arriving in cozy sweatpants, hoodies, and slippers that made the school feel extra warm and welcoming. The fun continued with Winter Gear Day, as halls filled with hats, mittens, scarves, and snow boots—perfectly celebrating the winter season. It was a joyful start to a week full of excitement, creativity, and Riverview pride! ❄️🧣
Elementary students made the best of indoor recess during these cold winter days by turning classrooms into spaces full of laughter and creativity. Board games, drawing, and building activities kept busy hands and smiling faces engaged. Even without going outside, students showed great teamwork and imagination while enjoying time with friends. Indoor recess proved that fun can happen anywhere when students have positive attitudes and creative minds.
This last week the Entomologist’s of Camp Wanink shared their expert knowledge of bugs with Mrs. Maleski’s first graders. Mrs. Waninks' class worked SO hard on their informational books and it shows! She was so proud of them!
Shout out to Mrs. Maleski’s first grade friends for being GREAT listeners.
And an additional shoutout to Mrs. Malloy for helping the students create absolutely BEAUTIFUL covers for their books during art class.
It was a true team effort in showcasing all of this hard work and knowledge!

We’d love for our community to join us in thanking the Big Rapids Board of Education! 💙❤️
Last night, we had the opportunity to shower our Board with a few small gifts, and we hope they truly felt the appreciation behind them. Their time, dedication, and commitment to our students, staff, and community make a lasting impact every day.
Please help us celebrate and thank our Board for all they do for BRPS!
Our elementary school was excited to host a mobile dentist on campus, offering families a convenient option for students to receive dental cleanings during the school day. With parent permission, students were able to have their teeth cleaned and checked right at school in a comfortable, friendly setting. This opportunity helped support student health while saving families time and making dental care more accessible. We appreciate our families for taking advantage of this helpful service and supporting healthy smiles at school. 😁🦷
Our elementary students proudly showed their school spirit by supporting Bulldog Spirit Day. Ferris State University Football and Volleyball teams had another successful championship season. Students wore team colors, and celebrated the Bulldogs’ hard work and success. It was exciting to see our young learners support local college athletes and come together to celebrate championship pride. Go Bulldogs! 🏈🏐🎉
