Success stories take place, daily, in public schools, all over Michigan. Caring teachers and staff work hard to build relationships with individual students in order to help each child reach his or her own highest potential. All of our schools strive to provide a safe environment where all children are given the opportunity and are empowered to be successful.
Each day we have success stories at Big Rapids Public Schools. We have students who make a connection with a teacher or coach, we have students who achieve that “aha” moment, and we have students who do something for another student which makes their day better. These are only a few of the everyday examples of the successes in our schools. Many of these successes are due to the caring nature of our parents, staff, students, and community. We know there are many stories of success at Big Rapids Public Schools. We need to celebrate those success stories, so we are asking you to share yours. We want to know who and/or what has made a positive difference for you at BRPS.
No individual or group is perfect; everyone makes mistakes. However, our goal for all members of BRPS is always to learn from our mistakes. That being said, too many times the only stories that are shared tend to be about concerns. While we do want to continue to hear the concerns, we would also like to celebrate the successes of our schools and we need your help.
We are asking you to think about the successes BRPS has provided you, your children, your family, or your friends, over the years. We want to know the triumphs and accomplishments of our students and staff; we want the everyday evidence that proves our schools are making a difference.
We greatly appreciate your help with this project. If you would like to share a BRPS Success Story, please email your story to brsuccess@brps.org, send a letter to BR Success Story, 21034 15 Mile Road, Big Rapids, MI, 49307 or call (231)796-2627. In addition, if you know someone else that would be proud to share a story, please pass along this information to them.
We know Big Rapids Public Schools has many success stories. We want to gather them and share them with the rest of our community and the State of Michigan. We are very proud of our students, our community, and Big Rapids Public Schools. Together, We are BR!
