Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!
☀️Tell Me Something Good Sunday☀️
The BRMS Leaders In Training (LIT) Program is a new leadership and drug and alcohol education opportunity for students. Mrs. Sheila Hupp, the Founder of the LIT program, recently visited us. Sheila's LIT Programs are being utilized in schools and organizations in surrounding counties! Grant funding for the BRMS LIT Program is generously sponsored by the Rush County LCC and Tri Kappa.
Benjamin Rush Middle School is grateful for the generous donation of sweatpants for the clinic which is sponsored by Mrs. Carolyn Kramer and St. Paul's United Methodist Church! Last year they also sponsored winter hats and coats for BRMS students. We are very thankful for the amazing support St. Paul's United Methodist Church continues to give to our BRMS students each year!
Benjamin Rush Middle School is happy to announce that we have been honored as an Indiana Purple Star School! This designation is given to schools that show commitment to service members, veterans, and students and families connected to our nation’s military.
Rush County Schools would like to personally thank all of the veterans in our community who have served or are actively serving in the US military. These brave men and women deserve to be recognized, so if your veteran was not represented today, please list their names in the comments!
BRMS is happy to be partnering with the Rush County Community Assistance Food Pantry again this year to offer weekend back-sacks for students who may be facing food insecurities. The back-sacks help ensure students have nutritious food over the weekend and before holidays and school breaks.
Thank you, Rush County Community Assistance Food Pantry for supporting BRMS students and families! Thank you to Mrs. Wicker and Mrs. Amos for coordinating this important food program for BRMS students!
The RCHS Principles of Fire & Rescue completed their practical skills evaluation for the Indiana Department of Homeland Security Hazardous Materials Awareness and Operations certification on Friday.
These two certifications represent that the students are trained to a competency level that prepares them to respond to and assist in the mitigation process of a hazardous materials emergency. Each student had to identify that a hazardous material situation was present, determine what resources they needed to contain, confine and prevent the incident from getting worse, create a plan of action, implement that action plan, and ultimately mitigate the emergency. We hope that certifications like this will assist students on their career paths after high school!
Happy Veterans Day!

The Rushville Public Library has partnered with Indiana University to host a program called Familymakers. Rushville Public Library is one of seven rural libraries across the United States participating in this program. Here is a brief description of the program:
Family Makers empowers rural children and caregivers to become problem solvers by immersing them in doing and seeing culturally relevant engineering. Family Makers is designed to leverage families' every day making practices, turning them into valuable learning resources for engineering. Our programming further grounds engineering in the lived experiences of engineers who grew up in rural communities to help families see the relevance of engineering. Family Makers takes a Research-Practice Partnership approach to co-design the curriculum with rural library staff and embeds learning supports for rural library staff to facilitate the Family Makers online programming. Together, we aim to lift barriers that a high population of rural children experience in engaging with engineering learning and to position rural libraries as key institutions to democratize engineering learning opportunities.
This is an online session once a week for six weeks for children ages 5 - 10
They are offering families a payment of up to $300 to participate in all six sessions. This would require at least one parent and child to attend and participate.
If the family does not have internet access and/or a mobile device, the researchers will provide the necessary equipment for participation.
