Pirate-of-the Day

Kelly Machuca - An honest Pirate

A big Pirate salute to Kelly for his strong character and unfailing honesty.
He found a wallet filled with cash and other valuables and turned it in
without hesitation to the office to be returned to its rightful owner.

Great job Kelly, you have made us all very proud of you.

A brief selection of some of the comments from
BRHS students to their Teachers from Monday:

Dr. Pearcy:
“Thank you for being a history teacher.
No one else can compare as an AP
U.S. History teacher. I cannot wait
until next year when I have you for
AP Government/Economics.”

Mrs. Cristello:
“Thank you for all of your help…
If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have
received a 26 on my ACT.

Ms. Yi:
“Thank you for teaching me how
to speak and write in Chinese.”

Mrs. Miller:
“Thank you for being such an
inspiration to me. I LOVE zoology!
I want to be a wildlife veterinarian
and the privilege to be in your zoology
class helps me achieve my goal.
Thank you for being the best
zoology teacher ever!”

Mrs. Couchois:
“Thank you for all you have done for me.
Without you, our chorus would not be
where it is now in terms of quality.
Most importantly you helped me
realize how much I love music.
You’re the best!”

Mr. Burlew:
“I really enjoy being in your class
because you make it funny, and I
have a good time. I always look
forward to coming to your class.
I will always remember being
in your engineering class.”

We want to thank all of our fine teachers at BRHS for their dedication
and devotion to both their profession and to their students.

FFA Breakfast for faculty and staff

A big Pirate thank you to the members of the fabulous FFA CTSO
for the fine breakfast they provided for the good people who serve at
Braden River High. It was a treat to enjoy so many fresh and tasty
goodies to start off another great day at the River.

All spots are filled and I thank those who
jumped in right away to help out.
Mr. French
