From the Classroom to the Skatepark: STEM in Action!

Next week, from November 2nd through 4th, our Big Rapids Middle School 8th graders will have a unique opportunity to work directly with the University of Tennessee during three days of hands-on STEM learning!

Through a Composite Skateboard Challenge, students will explore the science and engineering behind skateboard design and manufacturing. From selecting materials and understanding their properties to manufacturing and evaluating a finished product, students will experience how an idea becomes a reality!

This exciting opportunity goes beyond skateboards, introducing students to real-world applications of science, technology, engineering, and math while exploring potential careers in advanced manufacturing.

Real-world learning. Hands-on experiences. Future possibilities. We're excited to bring this opportunity to BRMS!

At halftime of Friday night's final home game, we proudly recognized retired BRPS Technology Director Joe Bouman for an incredible 31 years of keeping stats for our varsity football team!

For more than three decades, Joe traveled near and far, never missing a game, to support our Cardinals from the press box.

Thank you, Joe, for your remarkable dedication, loyalty, and commitment to Cardinal Football! Once a Cardinal, always a Cardinal!

Mornings are busy. Groceries are expensive. We've got breakfast covered! ❤️

Did you know that eating breakfast can help students improve their focus, memory, energy, and readiness to learn?

At Big Rapids Public Schools, FREE breakfast is available to every student, every school day!

That's one less meal to prepare, one less expense for your family, and a great way to help your Cardinal start the day strong!

🍎 Encourage your child to stop by the school cafeteria for breakfast each morning. At Eastwood, breakfast is served right in the classroom!

Less morning stress. More breakfast success.
