Our students showed incredible respect and reverence throughout the entire program, creating a truly memorable event.
The assembly was a testament to the hard work and dedication of our students, featuring:
Moving performances by our student singers.
A poignant reading of "America's Little White Table."
Recognitions for our Patriot's Pen essay winners in grades 7/8.
The solemn playing of Taps.
A dignified Presentation of the Colors.
A huge THANK YOU to the students and staff for making this happen, and especially to the brave men and women who actively serve or served our country and attended the assembly. Your presence made this a truly special day for our building!

Dear Schneider Families,
As you know, your child’s safety is our number one priority here at Schneider. We are taking steps to increase safety and security in our building through implementing a new secured entry procedure. This is the same entry system that is currently in place at both BRIJHS and BRHS.
We hope to have this installed and functioning at Schneider next week. When this system is activated, anyone entering the building will need to present their photo ID. You will place your photo ID behind the iPad reader in the front entryway. It will then prompt you to turn your ID over to read the back. Once approved, a name badge will print in the office and you will be buzzed into the office to get your badge. A full walkthrough video can be found at this link: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XN2kkKExghM
If you are simply dropping something off for your child, you do not need to go through all of these steps. We will have a table in the entryway where you may place items and we will make sure your child gets them.
If you have any questions at all, please reach out! I can be reached via email at smcmurry@blueridge18.org or by phone at (309) 928-2611. Thank you so much for your continued support as we work to keep our school community safe!
Most Sincerely,
Sunny McMurry

Back by popular demand is the Charleston Wrap fundraiser in 4-8th grades! This benefits the JH Student Council. Now is a great time to stock up on gift items and great quality wrapping paper for the holidays. All 4-8th students will bring home a packet with QR code to register today. Once registered, share your student's link with friends and family. Shipping is direct to the buyer's home. The fundraiser runs through November 15.
If you do not know a 4-8th student and would still like to shop and benefit BRIJHS, here is the general link that is not tied to a particular student's sales: https://registercw.com/gateway?organizationMidasId=25899
