We are so grateful for Mr. Patel and his commitment to BRE this semester! We are going to take a quick group picture at the gas station today if anyone wants to join. Come in your favorite Big Ridge shirt/sports uniform at 5:30.

Our students showed out today and brought in all kinds of beautiful flowers for our staff. Then PTA got to work! Thank you for your support in giving our staff a small token of appreciation today 💐

Next up, handwritten notes. Let’s make sure our teachers know how loved they are tomorrow with some sweet messages written by our students 📝
