BRMS: Berlin Airlift = Success!

On Veteran's Day, The BRMS 6th Grade class was able to watch a reenactment of the Berlin Airlift by dropping candy to the Berlin children below.

 This reenactment involved dropping 36 parachutes with candy attached. Big Rapids pilot, Clark McKenna, flew over the field, while his daughter, Haley, and middle school assistant principal, Marty Aldrich, dropped the parachutes onto the High School football field.

A big thank you goes out to 6th grade social studies teacher, Mark Brejcha, for putting this together! What an amazing,fun experience in learning about history!!
