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.

bond proposals are a very common way for districts to address facility needs. without bonds, districts are left using operating dollars for infrastructure projects. this has a direct negative impact on the classroom, often resulting in higher class sizes.
