The RISE kids have been writing with their pen pals from a small school in Iowa. Recently they got the opportunity to get together and play games, color, and talk. The kids had so much fun getting to know one another in person.
The BRMS Wind Ensemble performed at the Sioux Falls School District Middle School Large Group Contest on Friday morning.
