Blazer Olympics - Volunteers Needed

Friday, March 10 
8:30 - 11:30am



Volunteers are needed this Friday for Blazer Olympics!  Please email Coach Landrum at [email protected] if you can help.



Blazer Olympics is a day when kindergarten through 5th grade students participate in field game competitions.  Students compete within their grade level in both Blue/Gold team competitions and individual competitions.


At the end of the games one color will be declared winner of the Blazer Olympics. This team format will encourage students to cheer for one another and congratulate their peers. The blue and gold team assignments are the same as they have been for other events this year.



Opening ceremonies will begin for all elementary classes at 8:30 am. The Blazer Olympics has become a school and family tradition, all are invited to attend and cheer on their children during this fun event. 
Lost & Found - Are Any Items Yours?
Items that have been found around campus throughout the year are set out on a table in the hallway near the clinic.   Please take a look; you may be surprised by what you find and see things you didn't realize were missing.  



Items unclaimed by Friday will be discarded.

Students Serve South Carolina Flood Victims

While many relaxed during our mid-winter break, seven high school students traveled to Andrews, South Carolina to help flood victims.


For five days Mr. Graber, Mr. Miller and students removed damaged walls and installed new shingles, drywall, and insulation.


Thank you all for your selfless dedication to serve! Your kindness was a true blessing to others.

Uniform Ordering Reminder

Just a friendly reminder that this is the last year students may wear uniforms shirts and sweatshirts with the old logo. 



Next year, ALL uniforms and sweatshirts must have the new logo below.

 

Although we've been announcing the phase out of the retired logo since May 2015, we wanted to give you another reminder so you can budget/plan accordingly.  Feel free to order anytime for next year; you don't have to wait until the start of the school year.
