Last week, BRHS Juniors participated in the FCU Reality Fair where they were given a career with an accompanying annual salary and credit score. They then went to 12 stations to make life decisions and see where they financially ended with their monthly budget.

Attention Panther Families:
As many of you know, our elementary playground was updated a few years ago. During the planning phase of the previous playground, many families generously donated money in support of the project. To recognize this generosity, wooden slats were created with family names. Many of these wooden slats were preserved during the deconstruction of the old playground. We recently organized the slats and would like to offer our families who made a donation the opportunity to pick up their slat, if they haven’t already done so. Anyone who would like theirs can simply email Melissa Aldrich (maldrich@birchrunschools.org) for next steps.
