Angel Tree- Thanks to the generosity of our Brainerd Baptist School families, we were able to help provide Christmas for 86 boys and girls at Barger Academy. We received a beautiful note of appreciation from them that read:
This holiday season, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Brainerd Baptist school for your generous donation of gifts to the students of Barger Elementary. Your kindness and support brought joy, excitement, and smiles to our students and their families, making their Christmas truly special.
Because of your generosity, our students felt seen, valued, and cared for and were reminded that their community believes in them and supports their success. Your contribution made a meaningful difference and helped create lasting memories during this season of giving. On behalf of our students, families, faculty, and staff, thank you for partnering with us and for your continued support of Barger. We are deeply grateful for our compassion and generosity. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season and a happy new year!
With Appreciation,
Barger Academy
Christmas at Brainerd- Join Brainerd Baptist Church for their Christmas Eve Services as they celebrate the joy and hope of Christ’s birth. Services will be held at 3:30 PM and 5:00 PM. There will be no Nursery or Preschool Worship Care during these services. We look forward to celebrating this special evening with you and your family!
MCR Foundation- Mark your calendar to join us Thursday, January 29th, 2026, as we host best-selling author, Catherine Price. In addition to her former best sellers, Catherine will also be discussing her new book, The Amazing Generation, co-authored with Jonathan Haidt (#1 New York Times best selling author of The Anxious Generation). This is a FREE EVENT for the community, located at the UTC Fine Arts Center!! Details on how to register are coming soon. Please contact Emily@mcrfoundation.com with any questions.
Uniform Reminders- As the weather begins to change, students may wear any jacket or sweatshirt outside. However, any outerwear worn inside the school building must be Brainerd Baptist sweatshirts or jackets, or solid-color sweaters, jackets, or sweatshirts in our school colors. Additionally, please remember that leggings should be worn only under skirts or jumpers—they are not considered uniform pants. Lastly, don’t forget to label all items with your child’s name. It helps in returning lost items to their owner.
For your convenience, the full uniform guidelines can be found at www.brainerdbaptist.org.
