This year’s 8th grade accelerated Social Studies students participated in NHD-National History Day. Students selected a topic related to the theme Frontiers: People, Places, Ideas. Work was showcased as an exhibit, website, documentary or performance on March 2 in the library. Judges from throughout the community met with students to provide feedback and ask questions about their work. We will soon be announcing finalists who will move onto the South Dakota Regional contest. We are proud of how hard each student worked on these projects.
On Thursday, March 30th, we will host our first ever BRMS Fine Arts Night from 6:00-7:30pm. This event will feature many of our music ensembles along with an art showcase from many of our BRMS students. There will be music department spirit wear and snacks available for purchase. We look forward to seeing everyone!
