Birch Run Area Schools

Stay Safe Panthers

Attention Panther Families: As many of you know, our elementary playground was updated a few years ago. During the planning phase of the previous playground, many families generously donated money in support of the project. To recognize this generosity, wooden slats were created with family names. Many of these wooden slats were preserved during the deconstruction of the old playground. We recently organized the slats and would like to offer our families who made a donation the opportunity to pick up their slat, if they haven’t already done so. Anyone who would like theirs can simply email Melissa Aldrich (maldrich@birchrunschools.org) for next steps.

Pink out T-shirt sale extended through this Sunday, September 15th The HS & MS cheer teams are having their annual pink out t-shirt sale. Last year we were able to donate over $3100 to www.thepinkfund.org. We chose this non-profit because they donate the funds to local Michigan women who are fighting breast cancer. Anyone can apply to the link provided above. Every year we highlight a breast cancer survivor and this year we are spreading awareness with TEAM CALLAHAN on the back of our shirts. Again, our profits do not go directly to an individual as the school board has approved donations to only go to a non-profit company. Shirts will be dark pink in color with white/black writing. They are $12 each for youth to size adult XL. Please add $2/2XL, $3/3XL, and $4/4XL. Please use the following link to share with your students or if you would like to order: https://birchrunpinkout2024.itemorder.com/shop/home/ Deadline to order is 9/15/2024. Sponsorships are being accepted. Please email Stephanie Nelson at snelson@birchrunschools.org for a form if you know of someone or a business that would like to do a sponsorship. Our pink out games are the following dates - MGMS 10/2/24 & HS 10/11/24. Thank you for your continued support!
