To our 9th-12th grade volleyball players, the coaches will have some uniform samples on hand next week on Tuesday (June 3rd) here at the high school. They'll also have nets set up so anyone who comes to see/try on the uniforms can stay for an open gym from 6:30-8 p.m. Please help spread the word! If you have any questions, please post to the SportsYou volleyball account.
Thank you Mansfield United Methodist Church for the "Let Love Shine" grant money used to purchase our Tie Dye Day supplies! One of our 4th grade classes wanted to show off their new attire.

As we work to wrap up the school year, Mr. Tongate's students have been coming in to pick up final projects and he wanted to share a few examples that weren't ready for presentation at the Spring Fine Arts Fair but deserved some recognition.
First, we have Tyler Holtz, a Sophomore who was in the Woods Course, and his End Table.
Then, we have Mason Bradford, a Senior, who was in the Carpentry/Cabinet-Making course, and his TV Stand.
Great job to all!
Schneider Elementary created a special video (linked below) to send Mr. Peyton off on his new role as Superintendent. It was the perfect way to show how much the students and staff appreciate all he has done as Principal! Please take a look at what they created and join us in wishing him well as our incoming Superintendent.

2nd graders in Ms. Penrod’s and Mrs. Earley’s classes helped out Mrs. Ward’s Kindergarteners with a data collection project. Kindergarteners tallied answers about their favorite sport, season, pet, and snacks then went back to class to create bar graphs and analyze their results. We love to grow our math brains!
To end the year off sweet, our life skills students made and delivered chocolate covered strawberries for the entire staff at BRIJHS yesterday! YUM!
