Bear River High School FFA Advisors are the March School Board Recognitions. They were recognized for the work they put in hosting the Northern Utah Invitational. This is an example of the kind of relationships they build with students and our community. This event brings together 1,900 contestants from 84 schools, including 57 schools from Utah, 23 from Idaho, and 4 from Wyoming. Organizing an event of this scale takes dedication, planning, and collaboration. Because of their efforts, thousands of students have the opportunity to showcase their skills, learn from one another, and strengthen the bonds that make agricultural education so powerful. #strongertogetherbesd2026 #besdboardrecognition

Bear River Robotics recognized at school board meeting.

We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation for the incredible work and lasting impact of the Bear River Robotics program. Your dedication to developing the program-while also fostering life skills such as teamwork, collaboration, problem-solving, and resilience-is truly commendable.

We would like to especially recognize Preston Ritchie and Jeff Jensen for their outstanding leadership and commitment. Their generous donation of time and mentorship has been instrumental to the program's continued success.

Our sincere thanks also go to Krista Thompson and Candice Sano, whose behind-the-scenes efforts and ongoing support as parent volunteers ensure the program runs smoothly.

We are proud to celebrate the remarkable achievement of six Bear River teams qualifying for and competing in the VEX Robotics World Championship. This reflects the excellence of the program and the dedication of all involved.

Your work makes a real difference.

Sincerely,

Box Elder School Board of Education
