BRIJHS 4th graders sent birthday cards to a resident at the local senior citizens home. It was the resident's 100th bday. They decided they didn't want the other residents to be sad, so they also sent a Valentine's day card to each one of the residents.
Did you know next week is Random Acts of Kindness week? BRIJHS has some fun in store to celebrate!
