SCHOOL COUNSELOR

We can't say enough about everything that Mrs. Clone does for our students and staff at BRV. She has been the counselor at our Jr/Sr high school for 17 years. The office staff chipped in and got Mrs. Clone a bouquet of flowers last week.

Officer Wilson keeps us safe here at BRV. The district staff chipped in and put together a little appreciation basket for him.

BRV DISTRICT CHALLENGE COIN

New to BRV celebrations is our custom challenge coin. Our new coins were designed and produced by Brent McCormick (BRV '85) who is the plant manager at the SilverTowne Mint in Winchester, IN. The first round of BRV challenge coins were awarded at our February 1 throwback basketball game in Shelton Gymnasium. Future challenge coin recipients will earn this recognition for special achievements and honors at Blue River Valley. The challenge coin project was funded through a generous donation from an anonymous donor in the community.
