Dear RJB Families,
As we enter the final week of the 2025-2026 school year, I want to thank you for your partnership and support. Together, we celebrated many accomplishments and created lasting memories for our students. From our Grades 1–3 Stellar Awards Ceremony and 4th Grade Promotion Ceremony to the Detroit Institute of Arts field trip and Father/Daughter Dance, our students have enjoyed an exciting week of celebration and learning. We are incredibly proud of all they have achieved this year.
As we wrap up the school year, please continue encouraging your child to be Respectful, Responsible, and Safe. Thank you for entrusting us with your children and allowing us to be part of their educational journey.
We wish all of our Bunche families a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer!
With appreciation,
Ms. Burks
