Mr. Petty's classes created a music album or a movie poster that represented the first 5 presidents. Then, they participated in a gallery walk to determine which project taught them most.
Ms. Spradling's classes just completed the novel "The Giver." Students created their own utopian communities to display their knowledge of the book, as well as architectural skills! Hands-on learning at its best!

In Mrs. Cahill's class, students have been busy learning all about money! Today, they got to put their skills to the test by spending and budgeting the money they earned at the classroom movie theater. What a fun and interactive way to practice real-world financial skills!

Update for Lynna Collins: Graveside Service only Friday @ 2pm - Turrentine Jackson in Allen
It is with great sadness that we inform our school community of the passing of Lynna Collins, a beloved member of our staff who served as both a custodian at Blue Ridge Middle School and a BRISD bus driver. Lynna was more than just a colleague, she was a friendly face, a helping hand, and a caring presence for our students and staff every day.
Her dedication, kindness, and warm spirit touched so many lives, and she will be deeply missed. We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Please keep Lynna’s loved ones in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time of loss.

Power has been restored to Blue Ridge ISD. Classes will resume as regularly scheduled today.
Blue Ridge ISD is still without power and as of now there is no estimated time for when it will be restored. We will continue to monitor the situation and make a decision about school tomorrow by 6 am before the morning bus routes begin.
Due to a continued power outage within the district and no update on the power being restored, Blue Ridge ISD will be closed today. Please stay safe and we will see you all tomorrow.
