Hope to see everyone tomorrow!

Hopefully we will be back in session tomorrow.  We will have Cheerfair afterschool tomorrow since we were unable to have it today.  The little cheerleaders will perform then at half time of the varsity game on Friday night.  Wear warm clothes and I will see you in the morning!!

We did it!

We made it to school today with out any accidents and I believe we had a great day of learning!  The buses were on time and the students were glad to be back.  It was great to get in one more day in this crazy week.  None of us were really sure what day it was but it went well. 

Thank you to everyone who made it to Papa John's Pizza last week.  We had a great turnout.  We raised over $400 for our school!  Ms. Holland's class had the best turnout so they will get a pizza party soon.  Papa John's invited us back to do this again so watch for our next Pizza Night Date!

We had a our Top Dog Breakfast for last week-- today!  The students were glad to get the donuts and juice, even though it was a week late. 

Our Character Trait for February is Trustworthy.  We will be talking more about this word all month.  Our Hat's Off Money for February will be going to the Special Olympics.  Blair Oaks has a large delegation of staff that participate in this event.  Most of the swimmers are from the high school. 

Have a fabulous weekend...more snow is on the way!!

Back in Business....

We will be back at school tomorrow.  I will do my best to remind our kiddos to wear their coats and hats when going home.  It will be a cold, frigid day.  The maintenance staff has done a great job clearing the parking lots and sidewalks.  The piles of snow are just huge.  I am sure we will all be ready to be back in our routine tomorrow. 

We sent home several notes on Monday.  Hopefully everyone received them.  We sent the February lunch menu and it will change a bit because of the snow days.  Watch the menu on our website for those changes.

We also sent home a note about the Valentines that the KIDS class is selling.  They are 50 cents or 75 cents.  You may send back the form at any time before the 11th of February. 

The last note was about a Parent Night on February 17.  Chick Moorman is speaking.  He is a well known educator that has great ideas on motivating our kids to do what is right!  He will be speaking to our Blair Oaks Staff on the 18th.  The Parent Night on the 17th is free and we also will have child care.  This should be a great night for all parents.
