November is a time to be thankful. At Blue River Career Programs, we are thankful for the hard work and consistent effort our students show on a daily basis. We are thankful for a group of instructors that prepare daily to ensure their students have the best educational experience they possible can have every day at BRCP. We are thankful for a supportive community and parents who support their students and make sure that Blue River Career Programs is a beneficial learning experience for everyone. Thank you to all of our students, parents, community partners, and sending schools for their support in making Blue River Career Programs a great place of learning!

Our Human and Social Services Program will be organizing a food drive to help those in need. Please see the information below from our instructor, Mrs. Miers:

Did you know that millions of families all over the state of Indiana have recently lost their SNAP benefits? SNAP is a government funded program that aids families in purchasing groceries each month. Our goal at BRCP is to create a food pantry that can be utilized for students and families in our community! With this being said, we need your help! Human and Social Services will be hosting a food drive beginning Monday, November 24th until Friday, December 12th! The morning and afternoon classes that bring in the most food donations will receive a pizza party! If you have any questions, please speak with your instructor, or stop in room 111 to speak with Mrs. Miers.
