This year's BRIJHS Readathon was a hit! We had so much fun celebrating the joy of reading. However, we are falling short of our goal to raise $10,000. Would you consider helping? You can make a donation at our readathon page. https://www.read-a-thon.com/school/Blue-Ridge-Intermediate-and-Junior-High_42782
We will close out donations on November 10th.
All funds raised go to fun, school-wide incentives like Fall Festivals and Winter Movies and so much more! We really appreciate your help and support!!

Blue Ridge School District #18 will conduct free preschool screenings on November 1 at Schneider Elementary School, 309 North John Street, Farmer City, Illinois.

Please allow up to 2 hours for the screening. We ask you not to bring other children with you since you will be asked to join us during your child’s appointment. Parents will be asked to complete an information packet and return it to the school a week before the appointment.
Please call Mary at the Schneider Office (309)928-2611 to schedule an appointment or ask any questions. Thank you!

Tonight I am sharing with you that an inappropriate audio file was shared by two BRHS students to the BRHS student body during the school day. The message in the audio file was extremely inappropriate and offensive, targeting BRHS staff and students. As a district we take a strong stand against harassing behavior and we ask you to join us. Parents, please take time to use this as a learning opportunity to remind your students that hateful messages through any medium are wrong. Period. Thank you for joining us in this important work. #br_u_knighted
