Highlighting the Learning at Birch Run Schools! 🔎💳🎨📖🎭💵🎺📊🔧🎥🌎 🪚🤸
Yesterday, Mr. Grady’s Home Maintenance Class got to go into the shop for the first time and start learning some basics about drills. Students are getting hands on learning experiences in life skills and for some, the first steps in career training. Can’t wait to see the drywall project later in the year! 💙💛

Today, Mrs. Maksimchuk’s Personal Finance classes learned about banking from Cheryl Hecht from Frankenmuth Credit Union.
This lesson does not end today though- all year long students are learning from Mrs. Maksimchuk about the things Cheryl spoke about: responsibility, scholarships, investing, loans, credit scores, different types of banking accounts, and the list goes on.
Did you know that Frankenmuth Credit Union has an actual branch open on Wednesdays in the BRHS cafeteria where students can make withdrawals & deposits, just like they could at the bank. Mrs. Maksimchuk’s personal finance students sign up to work & help Cheryl with the transactions each week as they get a little experience with banking. Thank you Mrs. Maksimchuk for partnering with FCU to enrich the education of our Panthers 💙💛



On Saturday, Mr. Bossenberger took some of the Birch Run Marching Band members to participate in SVSU Band Day! The students worked together with the collegiate band and students from 20 other band programs to put together a half time show in ONE rehearsal!
The students were led by Birch Run Band Alumni, Cierra Nowicki and Allyson Miller, who are now Marching Cardinals! The experiences the students at Birch Run have while in high school make connections for them going forward in their life & we are proud to see Birch Run alumni taking what they learned here and applying it after high school! 💙💛





Transportation issues? Morning stress? Family schedule changes? Reach out early—schools can connect you to supports before absences add up.

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. 💙💛

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. 💙💛

Watch for school emails, texts, and posts about start dates, transportation, supply lists, and open houses. Having the details ready helps families avoid first-week absences.
