Project Eclipse: May 10 Update

The BR Spirit Car Unveil is only a week away!!!

Car Club students are putting together the final preparations for the grand unveiling of The Spirit of BR!
With the car polished up and commemorative water bottles ordered, we hope to have a huge turnout for the special event.
The BR Spirit Car will be parked out back of the school, near the football field and will be shown to everyone at approx. 11:15 am. Mr. Da Silva and the Car Club members will then be on hand to answer questions and demonstrate the usefulness of the newly rebuilt Mitsubishi Eclipse.
