RIVER RAIDER

Dear BRMS Families:

We had a great last full week of school at BRMS.   There were many field trips and school wide events including our first annual NEST Grand Prix on Wednesday.   Our NEST advisory groups all designed a unique hood ornament for the event.  Four relay teams raced their carts around the parking lot in a friendly competition amongst our NEST groups.   Students and staff had a great time and we celebrated with a cold treat after the race!  Be sure to check out some of the pictures in this week’s River Raider.

Recognition Night is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Monday, June 19th.  We are planning to hold the event outside on our athletic fields.   Families are encouraged to bring their own chairs and blankets for seating.  In the event of rain we will be holding our event in the gymnasium.   A final decision on the location will be made on Sunday, June 18th.   More information can be found below.   Please contact the front office if you have a family member who needs assistance getting to the field as we will have a golf cart to help individuals who may have mobility challenges.

Have a great weekend and an amazing summer vacation.

Kevin
