    Welcome to the new school year!

     

    We are excited about the upcoming year and look forward to working as a school community to provide meaningful and memorable middle school experiences for all Blue Ridge Middle School students.

     

    Each fall the PTO and BRMS jointly sponsor a fundraiser to generate much-needed funds for the direct benefit of our school and students’ learning. In previous years, the fundraiser allowed us to provide support to BRMS in the following areas:

     

    • Good behavior incentives for students
    • School improvements such as door wraps, paint, water-bottle fountains, etc.
    • 6th & 7th Grade socials
    • 8th Grade Picnic, Decades Day/Field Day
    • Clubs and After-School Activities, including fall and spring theater programs
    • Classroom grants, including science materials and educational software resources
    • Staff development grants
    • Special education grants
    • LVHS scholarship
    • Student recognition events – Character Counts, Cornerstones, etc.
    • Literacy and STEM Resources

     

    Bucks for Bulldogs! -- A few years ago, the BRMS community requested a “no sale” fundraiser with all funds raised through a donation campaign. 100% of the money raised through this fundraiser goes towards student initiatives and school improvements at Blue Ridge Middle School! The fundraiser has been very successful since it began in 2015 and, with the continued effort of our community, we are confident it will continue to be a simple yet effective way to support our school.

     

    This year’s “Bucks for Bulldogs” goal is to raise $14,000 to support learning and enrichment programs at BRMS. Based on our anticipated enrollment, a $35 tax-deductible gift from each student would help us to exceed our goal!
