Dear BRMS Families:
Congratulations to the BRMS Drama Club for putting on an amazing production of Stone Dragon Soup Thursday evening. The actors, sound crew, and stage crew delivered a flawless performance, with plenty of laughs for the audience. The students will be giving an encore performance for our entire school when they return from break. I want to thank Laurie Forsman for her incredible dedication to our drama program at BRMS. Bravo, Madam Forsman!
We hope to have another production ready to go in the spring of 2026, and are currently searching for an assistant for our program. Please let me know if you might be interested in this paid position. It is a great opportunity to spend quality time with a great bunch of students!
We also held our annual Mullet Mania Food Drive to support our local food pantry. Our students and families donated several items of food to fill several boxes that will be delivered next week.
We held a Mullet Mania Parade on Wednesday morning with several of our staff members, and students participating in the event. Thank you to everyone who donated food items, and a special thanks to Mr. Pless for organizing this annual tradition!
We hope you have a relaxing Thanksgiving Break with your family and friends!
