Congratulations to Marshall MacGregor, Winner of the 7th Grade BR Logo Competition! Big Rapids Public Schools is proud to announce that Marshall MacGregor has won the 7th grade technology class competition! The challenge tasked students with creating a unique logo representing BR, and Marshall's design (pictured below) stood out among the entries. His teacher, Ms. Lukas, praised his work, saying, "Congrats, Marshall! Winning the 7th grade BR logo competition is an awesome achievement—your creativity really shines!"

Congrats to some of our high school students who attended MSVMA Musical Theatre Solo & Ensemble this last weekend! They scored a perfect rating and were selected to perform at the MSVMA All-State Gala Concert in May 2025! Getting selected for All-State is a HUGE honor - one that BR has not had for at least 20-25 years - and is comparable to being state champs (but everyone is in the same division and there are hundreds, if not more, choirs competing to be selected). The purpose of the All-State Gala Concert is to show off the best of the best choirs and soloists in the state from the entire school year. Congrats to: Gracie Edwards Clarissa Hoffman Kamryn Lowery-Sumlin Meredith McAdams Kaela Sterly Madyson Turner
