Congratulations to Marshall MacGregor, Winner of the 7th Grade BR Logo Competition!
Big Rapids Public Schools is proud to announce that Marshall MacGregor has won the 7th grade technology class competition! The challenge tasked students with creating a unique logo representing BR, and Marshall's design (pictured below) stood out among the entries.
His teacher, Ms. Lukas, praised his work, saying, "Congrats, Marshall! Winning the 7th grade BR logo competition is an awesome achievement—your creativity really shines!" Marshall's design showcases both his skill and his pride for our school, and it embodies the spirit of Big Rapids.
We are thrilled to see such talent emerging in our classrooms and look forward to more innovative designs from our students. Way to go, Marshall!
