Odds & Ends
School's Out For Summer
PTO Event
Blackburn’s PTO will be holding an evening event on Friday, April 29th from 6-8pm. Mrs. Schlegenhauf and Mrs. Akroyd are planning performances/displays for the evening and students will have the opportunity to purchase and decorate a ‘TILE’ that will forever be a part of Blackburn’s Tile Wall. There will be more details to come! Please mark your calendars for this event.
PTO Needs your help!
EOG Proctors needed!
Blackburn is looking for proctors for the Reading and Math EOGs on June 1st and 2nd. If you are interested in proctoring one or both days, please email Mr. Trivett at cory_trivett@catawbaschools.net.
Grandfather Mountain Field Trip
Just another reminder that you must have a background check on file in our front office if you would like to chaperone our Grandfather Mountain field trip on April 12th. Background checks are good for 2 years from the time of approval, and I am finding that some of your checks have expired. To check to see if your background check is current, please email either Ms. Ellis or Mr. Ross. If you would like a form to have a check completed, let Ms. Ellis know and we will send an application home with your child. This takes several weeks to process, so please fill one out as soon as possible!
