A note from Mrs. Combs
Thank you for coming to our Curriculum Preview this past Wednesday. We hope you found the evening informative and helpful. If you were not able to attend, or if you have any further questions, please email your teacher. We are so happy to partner with you to make this a successful year for your child so they can grow academically, emotionally and socially throughout the year. You can also stay up to date with what is happening in your child’s class by visiting the teacher’s website on a regular basis for updates on what your child is learning, classroom activities, and resources to support from home.
Dance - A - Long
We had an awesome time at our Dance-A-Long today. What a fun and healthy way to celebrate the successful start to a great year! Your child may come home a little more tired than usual as we danced nonstop for 30 minutes! Mrs. Combs and Mrs. Jones are extra tired as they danced all day with each grade level. - Whew! Thank you to our PTO for organizing this annual event!
Update: Blue Ash Beach Bash!!!!
Family Fun Fundraiser to benefit Mrs. Jones and Mr. Rolfes
A reminder that Blue Ash Elementary is hosting a Beach Bash fundraiser to raise funds for two very special staff members who are battling cancer. Mrs. Stephanie Jones (1st grade) and Mr. Rolfes (custodian).
At the bash we will have a great DJ, dancing, food, and prizes!
Tickets to the bash are $10 per person…..and to make things just a little more interesting, Mrs. Combs will allow all students who participate in the fundraising to tape her to a wall of the school! Each student who brings in a donation or purchases tickets will be given a strip of duct tape to tape her up! The more that donate, the better chance we have of getting her to stick there for a while!!
Thank you to those who have already purchased tickets or made a general donation - we will get your tape ready!!
We hope you can join us for this special event.

Calling all Night Owls!!
The new school year is in full swing and the Night Owls are ready to get to work! Please join the Night Owls on Thurs, 9/8/16 at 7:30 at the Blue Ash Mio’s (9500 Kenwood Road). Our first meeting is all about catching up with returning members and offering a warm welcome to new members. We will review the minutes from the PTO meeting and talk about our activities for this school year. The Night Owls group is a great way to meet other parents while helping out our school. No experience is necessary and new members are always welcome!
Can’t make the 9/8 meeting? No problem. We meet again on Thurs, 10/6/2016 at 7:30 pm at BAE.
Looking for a flexible volunteer opportunity at school?
Consider a volunteer position in the lunchroom. This position assists the kids with opening items, passing out items, etc. You can volunteer for the entire lunch time (11:30am-1:00pm) or for a specific lunch period (such as when your child eats). You can volunteer as much or as little as you are able- even one day a month is helpful! Please check out the sign up, the link is provided below. Feel free to email Bev Ross (bevross922@gmail.com) with any questions.
