Spartan Spotlight Volume 48; Issue 3 http://www.lpcs.org/brhs October/November 2017 2017 Dear BRHS Families, November 2 is the final day of the marking period and it is hard to believe how fast the school year is moving. We had a good homecoming week, our sports are all doing well, our activities are in full swing, and our fall play (The Legend of Sleepy Hollow) was a success. Be sure and check StudentVue/ParentVue to monitor your grades as the quarter winds down. Reminder, we will not send report cards home, they will be viewable on November 15 in ParentVue. Winter sports tryouts are November 6. We are hosting a conference on Mental Health here at BRHS on November 11. Our Academic Awards ceremony will be November 14. As we approach the second quarter and holiday I want to say thank you to our students, parents, and staff. BRHS is a special place due to the community we have. Regards, Mr. Spage 1
