We have fewer than 100 tickets remaining for our big, fun party, HURRAH!, on Saturday, April 26 (yes, that’s less than two weeks away). HURRAH! sold out last year and the year before so get your tickets before they’re gone. This year’s event will be a showcase of everything the Foundation and our supporters do for our students, together. We’ll have tasty bites from local restaurants, our justifiably famous bar offerings, DJ Mark Sala, and lots of fun surprises throughout the night. Get your tickets at egrsf.org/events/hurrah.html today!

Our preschoolers moved into the WECC expansion this week!
This morning, district administrators and preschool staff had the opportunity to welcome our littlest learners to the new classrooms. Thank you to our preschool staff who have been hard at work preparing classrooms and students for this move. We're so excited for them to enjoy the new space!
While the rest of the school year continues in the new half of the building, the existing preschool will be renovated and upgraded with the full center expected to be completed in the fall.

Program Highlights
5th Grade Kindness Community
Student Leaders
At Breton Downs, fifth grade student leaders teach K-4th grade students the importance of kindness and giving back to the community. Each year, the Fifth Grade Kindness Community nominates a community organization to raise money for and creates a craft to teach the school about that organization.
We are so proud of these student leaders!
Camp Miniwanca
Camp Miniwanca
Breton Downs fifth-grade students start the year with an overnight experience at Camp Miniwanca in Shelby, MI. In addition to experiencing hands-on science lessons, students also bond together through team-building challenges, nature hikes and canoeing, and all the challenges that make up a classic camp adventure. The interpersonal threads that tie together on this trip bind Breton Downs fifth graders for the rest of their final year of elementary school, and beyond.
Elementary Musical
Elementary Musical
The elementary musical is a very special opportunity in which every student can be involved! Students in grades K-1 are able to learn a song and dance and perform live on stage at the start of the show. Second graders have the added opportunity to make a cameo appearance. Students in grades 3-5 may showcase their singing and acting skills on stage or work behind the scenes helping with costumes, artwork, setting the stage, lights and sound, directing peers, and more! This is a wonderful opportunity for the entire Breton Downs Elementary school community to work and grow together!
BRAVO!
BRAVO! Fundraiser
Bravo! is a fun-filled night out for parents that directly supports our students as the largest fundraiser for the Breton Downs PTO. Parents come together for appetizers, drinks, games, auctions, raffles and live entertainment! This is a great community-builder for the families of Breton Downs students.
