The +10 Mindset

12 Days of Christmas Gifts for BR Staff.
Special thanks to Carolyn Wink, Shawn Harris,
Angie Lillard, Denise Avery and Tracy Hill
for making the treats for our excellent staff. |
As we inch closer to the Christmas break, I would like to express my thoughts about some
outstanding people, the entire Blue Ridge ISD teachers, administrators, and support staff. We are very blessed to have such dedicated individuals who want to do whatever it takes to prepare every student for the future. The reason is simple. What these folks do on a daily basis shapes the trajectory of every student's life.
To show our appreciation, the central office staff prepared the 12 Days of Christmas to give small tokens of appreciation to let them know just how valuable each employee is. I invite you to join me in taking time to let each staff member know how important their impact is and how valuable they are to Blue Ridge ISD.
As we head into Christmas break, I would like to wish each and everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
UIL Academics Team Excel at District

We are so proud of the BRES and BRMS UIL Teams for making BR History last week. The BRES Team jumped from 3rd place last year to win its FIRST EVER DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIP.
The BRMS team nearly doubled its 425 point total from last year to earn 820 points this year to take 2nd place. We are so proud of our coaches and students for doing such an amazing job.
