Soup Luncheon Sign Up
To kick off the month of gratitude, we'd like to show our teachers how grateful we are to have them. This month, we'd like to treat our teachers to a soup luncheon on Monday, November 13. Below is a link to a signup if you are willing and able to donate in order to make it a success! There are slots available for the elementary and intermediate buildings. We ask that all items be brought into the office no later than the morning of November 13. Thank you for your continued support!
Fundraiser Item Pick Up
Please plan on picking up fundraiser items on Tuesday, October 31 between 10:00 am - 3:30 pm in the INTERMEDIATE gymnasium. The external doors to the BIS gym on the southeast side of the building will be open. You may enter through those doors to pick up items. If you are attending our Halloween parties and/or parades, feel free to run items back out to your car in the gravel lot before the festivities begin. If know that you will not be able to pick up your items that day, please contact the office to make alternative arrangements.
Thank you for supporting Home & School!
Halloween Parties & Parades!
Halloween parties will take place on Tuesday, October 31 from 1:30pm-2:30pm.
Students are welcome to bring their Halloween costumes to change into for the Halloween parade and class parties. The parade will begin at 1:15pm and will include BES and BIS students. Parents are asked to line up in the middle parking lot to view the parade. At the conclusion of the parade, parents are invited to attend classroom parties and enter the buildings at 1:30pm. Please make sure costumes can easily be slipped on over clothes and put on with minimal assistance. We ask that additional accessories or items easily left behind remain at home. We want to make sure everyone has the items they need for trick or treating that evening.
Parking: Please see the diagram below for Halloween parties on Tuesday, October 31 from 1:30-2:30pm.
- Guests are welcome to park in the middle lot between the elementary and intermediate.
- For gravel parking lots- Please park on the ONE SIDE, PER GRAVEL SECTION (other than the section closest to middle school as you can park on both sides of that section) indicated on the diagram, park FACING THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
- The green lines indicate car rider lines and these spots should be left open so that cars can line up for pick up.
- Be sure to arrive early enough to find parking and line up for the parade that will begin at 1:15pm
Student Shout Out's
We want to recognize the wonderful things our students are doing outside of school in addition to their accomplishments at school. Whether it's playing in a soccer game or winning a karate tournament, we would love to showcase and celebrate our students! Please fill out the form below letting us know of anything special your student is doing outside of school (and include pictures if you can!) These will be featured on display screens throughout the school. We will continue to have this form available in future newsletters and on our school website so you can access it any time!
Sonic Sponsors
It doesn't take much to make a teacher's day, and one of the easiest ways to do that is treating them to a Sonic drink! If you would like to provide Sonic drinks for our teachers (we get them on Fridays) please reach out to Mrs. Burns (tburns@blairoaks.org) for further details. Drinks can be donated on behalf of an individual, an organization/business, or even anonymously if that is preferred.
