Congratulations to our September Exemplary Knights! #br_u_knighted
We need everyone's help! McKinley Street is a one way street on school days between 7:30-9:00 am and again from 2:30-4:00 pm. The reason is for the safety of all students as they enter and exit the building. We all value student safety as a top priority. Can you be sure to honor the one way timing with the same conviction? Thank you for your help. #br_u_knighted

Today in the library skills, 2nd & 3rd graders investigated "Crimes Against Books" while learning about library book care. They acted as Library CSIs and decided what crime had been committed: a little sister coloring with markers? A family pet who thought the book was a toy? They used their clues to decide!
Mansfield is currently under a boil order, and all water fountains have been disabled at BRIJHS. Please consider sending a filled water bottle with your student until the boil order is lifted.
