BRI's 3rd graders had an amazing experience today as they welcomed an incredible Ballet Folklórico performance. Students enjoyed a vibrant Spanish ballet presentation that celebrated culture, music, and storytelling through dance. The best part? Students and staff were invited to join in and learn a few dance steps themselves! It was a joyful, high-energy opportunity to experience the arts firsthand and connect with a beautiful cultural tradition. #SOARingHighatBRI Thank you, Ballet Folklorico and to our amazing PTA for organizing such a fun way to start our week!
