Week of April 17

Congrats to Raegan Harvey for advancing

The +10 Mindset
This week has been unbelievable to say the least.  Our 5th graders attended Adventure Camp to learn more about science.  Our JH & HS track teams continue to shine at the district track meets.  Our Tiger Band made history at UIL Concert & Sightreading Contest.  Our UIL Academic Teams reached new heights at regionals, and our FFA program continued its path to excellence.

This week's is packed with several examples of excellence in BRISD.  I encourage you to celebrate the growth we are making.  It is truly amazing.

Congratulations to our Junior High 7th and 8th grade girls teams for winning 1st at the District Track Meet. Congratulations to the Junior High 7th and 8th grade boys teams for winning Runner Up at the District Track Meet.  The head coach for the track program is Andrew Carlson.
