Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week

Let’s make sure the beloved BRES teachers and staff feel our deep gratitude during Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week (May 5th to May 9th)!

Here’s how you and your child can help:

Culture and Heritage Night is Coming!

Hello, BRES Families! We are eager to celebrate our diversity at our Culture & Heritage Night, which will take place on Wednesday, April 30th from 6 to 8 pm. The first hour will be in the APR with the displays, and around 7:15, we will move to the gym for space for all to enjoy any cultural performances.

If you have not had the chance to let us know about your display, please take a moment to fill out our google form. ALL ARE WELCOME! If you don't have a chance to RSVP, we will make room for you; please attend with a display or come to enjoy what everyone worked so hard on. Feel free to arrive at 5:30 pm if you are exhibiting your culture & heritage.

Lastly, we will have a food truck in attendance. I know many families will have delicious samples, so the Rice Around the World food truck discussed creating a partial portion/small bowl for those who want a little more for dinner.

We thank you and look forward to seeing you at this exciting event for our school community!

The STEAM Fair is almost here!

The BRES STEAM Fair is on Saturday! Students will be sharing their own projects in the Science Fair or displaying a STEAM project at the expo. We hope to see many students (and families) there even if they’re not presenting. We have partnered with local scientists and STEM organizations to provide exciting, interactive, and educational demonstrations. Check out more information and resources on our STEAM Day page. You can also enter a raffle to support the Student Government Association, which is raising money for playground equipment.

Mark your calendar for the 3/4 PTA Meeting!

We hope to see lots of faces joining us for this opportunity to engage as a community. In addition to providing announcements, we will host a special guest to learn more about internet safety for our kids. Jaime “Russ” Padre, from the US Secret Service, will share the NetSmartz Presentation on Internet Safety for Parents/Guardians/Communities.
