Meal Pick Up Information:
Students are offered meals to take home to help with the days they are not in school. The 5 days’ worth of food consist of individual items and bulk items such as a loaf of bread, lunch meat, and milk. Meals are available for parents to pick up on Friday’s between 12:00-1:00 in the north building. Students may pick up after school in the cafeteria. Parents and students may sign up for these meals by emailing Mrs. Brunelle at tbrunelle@maplerun.org or by calling her at 527-6404. This will put you on a weekly list. If you are unable to pick it up, please call to suspend your order for that week. If other pick-up arrangements need to be discussed, please call her. We understand that people sometimes forget to sign up or situations change so we will have some extras made up just in case.

Are you a BFA student who is interested in understanding and dismantling systemic racism? Are you curious about learning how to tell the truth from disinformation? Would you be excited to help initiate the flying of the Black Lives Matter flag at our school? If so, we have a new forum: the BFA Social Justice Club.
“We will not march back to what was but move to what shall be: a country that is bruised but whole, benevolent but bold, fierce and free.
We will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation because we know our inaction and inertia will be the inheritance of the next generation....”
- 22 year-old Amanda Gorman's inaugural poem
