Principal's Message

December is here, and it is a busy three weeks between holidays. Winter sports are in full swing, as well as numerous concerts, holiday events, and club activities. Thank you to our National Honor Society for hosting our annual Holiday Party on December 7, and our Student Council Association for the annual Jingle Bell Banquet on December 5. I also want to congratulate our top 5% seniors who are being recognized on December 14. Our student led holiday concert is December 16.


December 5 is our interim time for Q2. As we wind down the first semester, we will begin our planning for the 2023-2024 school year. Significant time is spent working with students to select courses in balance with a challenging load and on course to graduation. Please be sure to check messages for information nights and updates. Finally, the school calendar for 2023-2024 has been adopted and is on the LCPS web site.


Thank you for your continued support,


David Spage

Special Needs Field Day

One of the best things that we do here at Broad Run every year is our Special Needs Field Day. Because of COVID restrictions, we have been unable to host this event for the last two years. With all restrictions lifted this year, we had a day to be remembered! With over 130 invitees and almost the same number of student volunteers. The event was from 10 am to 1 pm down in the gym where every invitee got a t shirt, a medallion, a pizza lunch and a ice truck treat. There were so many smiles and great memories for all. It was a wonderful way to kick off The Holiday Season with the spirit of giving.

A Holiday Thank You

As I begin my third year of work at BRHS, I would like to take a moment to pause and reflect on all the happy things that have happened here.


The front office staff, the first group of people anybody encounters, they are so friendly, polite and willing to help, direct the students and visitors.


The admin quad is so in sync with one another that they are almost incomplete without the other. Their coordination and professionalism make it look like it is easy to monitor the halls, but it is quite the opposite. To top it off they do it with a smile and cheerful disposition.


The school staff are so open, friendly and encouraging, and have a great rapport with other staff members, coming together to wish happy birthdays or writing cards for happy and sad occasions. The BRHS staff express the desire and excitement to come back every day to make the kids’ lives a little better and leave a lasting impression on the them. Kudos to them.


Go SPARTANS.


Thanks,


Jay Swamy
