Spartan Spotlight
May 4-8
Dear Families,
Hello Spartans. As we work through the second full week of Q4 distance learning, I want to congratulate those who are engaged in continuity of learning and encourage everyone to stay engaged with your schoolwork. Doing this will help you with time management and your continued studies next year in high school and college. In order to improve your skills, you have to practice, this includes your study skills. Significantly, in this situation that we are in together, staying engaged with your studies is the way to make the best of it.
Note the link on our web site for the LCPS Continuity of Education page and our BRHS schedule. These are updated routinely with information ranging from food stops to grading. Please also see the BRHS twitter link with information from various activities and also link to BRHS Athletics. Please also note the link to our school counseling newsletter below.
Report cards will be posted on or about May 2 in ParentVue. Finish strong in Q4 Spartans!

KAINE ANNOUNCES ‘EVERYBODY’S THE GRADUATION SPEAKER’ VIDEO CONTEST FOR VIRGINIA HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS: Watch his video announcing the contest here.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Tim Kaine launched the “Everybody’s the Graduation Speaker” video contest. With many in-person graduations likely to be postponed or canceled due to the coronavirus, Kaine is encouraging Virginia’s graduating high school seniors to submit a video of an original speech they would like to give at graduation. Kaine will select speeches to feature on his Facebook page and website during May and June to celebrate the graduates. Kaine is encouraging students to film videos of speeches that are 10 minutes or less and submit them to gradspeech@kaine.senate.gov by May 15.
Proj Grad Info: By request, we are re-opening the order form for the Class of 2020 Grad Yard Signs. If you missed getting a sign the first time around, you can still order one. The order form will only be open until midnight, Thursday, April 30th so please make sure to purchase your sign by then. No additional orders will be placed after this one. Order signs here: https://fs20.formsite.com/ashburn/form23/index.html?1588080511852. When the signs arrive, you will be contacted by email to pick up your sign in Ashburn Village.
Seniors: English Teachers will be reaching out to seniors about submitting photos and quotes for our traditional senior slide show. If seniors have any questions, contact your English teacher.
We are finalizing plans for a virtual celebration. Working closely with LCPS and High School Education. More information will be coming SOON to seniors on their school email address. We will include updates to parents and seniors via this email system as well.
