Big Rapids Middle School students lined the streets of downtown Big Rapids today to honor our veterans during the annual Veterans Day Parade. ❤️💙

With flags waving and cheers of appreciation, students showed their gratitude to those who have served our country. We were especially proud to see several BRMS students walking in the parade to recognize their own family members who have served.

Thank you to all veterans for your courage, sacrifice, and service.

🚌Oh, The Places Our Buses Go — Safely!

It’s National School Bus Safety Week, and we’re celebrating the incredible team that keeps our Cardinals safe every single day!

Each day, BRPS buses carry 1,372 students across 1,023 miles — and by week’s end, that’s 5,115 miles and more than 6,800 safe rides completed! 🚦 That would be like driving to Florida every day or driving from New York City to Las Vegas, Nevada AND BACK each week!

From early mornings to afternoon drop-offs, our drivers and transportation staff make safety their top priority — and we’re so thankful for the care, smiles, and dedication they show on every route. ❤️
