🔥 Not needed quite yet…but we’ll be ready when it is! ❄️
After a boiler heats water, it still has to make its way throughout the building to keep BRHS warm and cozy. That’s where these brand-new pumps come in!
These new pumps are part of the boiler project at BRHS, which is now nearing completion. While we’re definitely not wishing for cold weather anytime soon ☀️😎, when those Michigan temperatures eventually drop, our new boilers and pumps will be ready to go!
A big THANK YOU to our voters for supporting the bond that made this important infrastructure improvement possible. 💙💛

✨ Fresh space. Fresh start. ✨
This classroom is almost ready to welcome students back! But take a closer look…notice anything new? 👀
That’s brand-new carpet! 🎉
Each year, the District refreshes several classrooms with new paint and carpet as part of our ongoing commitment to providing the best spaces for our students.
It may seem like a small detail, but we believe the environment where students learn matters. 💙💛

😴 Start the Sleep Reset 😴
A week or two before school starts, shift bedtime earlier by 10–15 minutes every few nights. Better sleep = easier mornings = fewer missed days.

🏫 One of the many steps that happens after a school bond proposal is approved is selling the bonds. District administration has been working with our financial consultant and we have some exciting news to share...
⭐ The District has earned an A+ credit rating—the highest rating possible! This is great news because it helps the District qualify for the lowest available interest rates, which helps make the most of taxpayer dollars.
💰 This rating reflects the District's strong financial management and long-term financial stability.
💙💛 Thank you to our voters for investing in our students and our District. Your support is helping us build a stronger future for our schools! 💛💙

It might not look like much, but this classroom and three others at North Elementary have brand new flooring thanks to voters approving the Bond Proposal. These new shiny floors will serve our students for decades to come. Thank you voters!
The boiler project at BRHS is moving right along. The new boilers have been set in place. The next part of the process is to connect all of the piping. Thank you to our voters for your support of the bond proposal, which is funding this needed improvement.
Birch Run Area Schools is excited to offer FREE SUMMER BREAKFAST & LUNCH FOR ALL CHILDREN 18 AND UNDER! All of the details can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Nf4NHb7J3lfKr7Nsmkol1FBS8XePr9opIprLfPqGf1Q/edit?usp=sharing
Notice anything missing? This is step one of the boiler replacement project at Birch Run High School. The old boilers are out and the new ones will be installed later this summer. Thank you to our community for supporting the Bond Proposal which is funding this needed upgrade!
Congratulations to our Students of the Month!

Hello Birch Run Community!
We hope you are enjoying your spring break. We wanted to pass along some information that was shared with us from the local clerk’s office. The attached graphic shows the early voting dates for the votes this year. The clerk’s office also provided copies of the ballot for the May Birch Run Area Schools bond proposal. Those sample ballots are available for review at Birch Run High School.
We know how busy life gets, so one way to take a little off of your plate is to sign up to vote absentee. You can even do that from the beach (if you’re so lucky to be sitting on one). You will need your driver’s license, but you can find more information on that here: https://mvic.sos.state.mi.us/AVApplication.
If you have any questions about the bond proposal, more information can be found on our bond website or by contacting Nate Mausolf at nmausolf@birchrunschools.org.

Birch Run High School participated in the 2026 Zehnder’s Snowfest High School Snow Sculpting Competition, placing 10th overall among a strong field of regional programs, many of which field multiple teams and have long-standing experience in competitive snow sculpting. This marked Birch Run’s first year participating in the event, providing students with a valuable hands-on learning experience in large-scale sculpture, teamwork, problem-solving, and professional conduct under real-world conditions. While rankings are only one measure of success, the experience laid a solid foundation for future participation and growth. Students demonstrated perseverance, collaboration, and artistic skill throughout the event, and the program looks forward to building on this inaugural experience in future competitions.
