FAFSA OPENED for the 2020-21 school year on October 1st! - College-bound students will want to submit the FAFSA as soon as they are able, in order to be in line for as much financial aid as possible. We will be hosting a FAFSA Workshop @ BHS on October 24th at 6:00 PM for anyone who could benefit from having a financial aid expert help guide them through the FAFSA. Haunted Hallways: This year we are organizing a free and safe trick-or-treating event in the Ortonville-Brandon Community; “Haunted Hallways.” We estimate that we will host several hundred elementary aged children on Monday, October 28th, the date of our event.
