The Patriot Tree is named Leon’s Patriot Tree to honor a local fallen Marine hero, Leon Deraps. Blair Oaks is called upon to honor our veterans by donating itemsand/or making monetary donations starting on October 11th.

Please plan to make a donation to support our troops and brighten their holiday season while they protect and defend us. This is the Blair Oaks' Community's opportunity to show our appreciation for their sacrifice and duty to our nation.

Do you have a student interested in Archery, but you weren't

able to attend the meeting? Please see the two documents

below for information that you will need.

The football team will host a playoff game on Friday, November 3rd. The concession stand is the responsibility of the parents of our student-athletes, so please make sure you're signing up for your required shifts.

The game for November 3rd is listed under Boys/Girls Golf, however, we will need additional help from other teams to get this filled, as we anticipate the crowd will be large.

Every year the Blair Oaks Community participates in waving flags and holding signs along a route that honored guests take to get to OPERATION BUGLE BOYS VETERANS APPRECIATION NIGHT.

It includes an evening of camaraderie, remembrance and a dinner at the St. Martins Knights of Columbus Hall.

First Impact is coming to Capital City High School on November 7th, and this event is FREE to any local parents of teen drivers. First Impact is a traffic safety program targeted to parents and/or guardians of teen drivers in the pre-permit, permit or intermediate stage of licensure, free of charge. Ensuring that parents understand the risks and responsibilities associated with driving is essential in preventing teen driving tragedies. First Impact provides the tools parents need to be involved in monitoring, coaching and supporting their new teen driver. Also provided is a parent/teen driving agreement which outlines specific rules that parents and teens can agree to follow during the different stages of licensure of the teen.
