The Annual BRPS Barnes & Noble Bookfair is Saturday, December 14, 2019 at the Barnes & Noble in Holland. Events include Barnes & Noble Storytime, Holiday Arts and Crafts hosted by the BRPO and Stories with Mr. Jim and many of our BR teachers. A percentage of your Barnes & Noble purchases will benefit BRPS when you print and use this coupon. Can't attend the bookfair? Visit bn.com/bookfairs to support us online by entering ID #12573945. Thank you for your support.

We would like to sincerely thank:

- our performers, for getting up on stage and showing us your many talents - you were awesome! 

- our volunteers, for giving your time on a Friday evening to help make Ratfest run so smoothly.  We could not have pulled this off without all your efforts.

- our judging panel, for your enthusiasm for each performance and giving Ratfest a fun, new element.

- all of you who came out to support Ratfest.  Your donations will help with the purchase of new music chairs - something the music department is in great need of.  They will also help fund the Advanced Orchestra's trip to Chicago in February.  Thank you for helping to make this all possible!

Sincerely,  The Fine Arts Boosters Team

Here is a wonderful article on our Kindergarten teacher, Missy Bayn.  Well deserved!

Daylight Savings Time will be ending soon, and it continues to be dark in the morning for kids walking to school or even crossing the streets from many points around campus. Parent/Guardians and student drivers, please allow extra time when driving to school. We ask that you drive slowly, double-check sidewalks and crosswalks before turning, and generally be extra-mindful of students in our community who are walking to school. As always, do not allow your students to run in-between cars to get to the sidewalk at anytime. We encourage all parents to use the entrance off 20th and drop off at the Lyceum for the added safety it provides.

Here are a few helpful reminders:
