As we wind down this semester's projects and presentations, we are reminded of how much our students have learned and have grown since the beginning of this school year. This year has been particularly challenging to our students, staff members, schools and communities, and everyone has risen to those challenges and transcended inconvenience and uncertainty to do great work so far this year. We are looking forward to meeting new challenges in 2012, and in the meantime, we wish everyone in BRVGS, along with their families, the happiest, safest and most relaxing of holidays and a Happy New Year!
