Thank you for your continued patience as Infinite Campus works to identify the cause of the duplicate food service transactions on the student accounts. The issue began after a system update and they are working hand in hand with the Tech Department at the OAISD to find a way to stop the continued errors as well as reverse inaccurate transactions.

At our Fun Walk this year, there will be an opportunity for our Black River family to donate to BR students as well as to students in Rwanda by way of 20 Liters. A bit about 20 Liters:

Around the world, 2 billion people are drinking water contaminated with feces. That's not okay. 20 Liters makes dirty water clean for the most vulnerable through long-lasting and innovative solutions. Our values are rooted in a desire to partner with the most vulnerable to strengthen their communities with sustainable solutions to support a basic human right – access to clean water. 

Below is a link to a powerful video regarding the connection between education and clean water.
