Blair Mill Beagle Brief
From our PAWS to yours...December 13, 2021
2021 Theme: Simply the BEST...Students, Families, Staff
Principal's Message
Dear Blair Mill Families,
This past week all families had an opportunity to conference with their child's teacher (virtually or in person). I hope that you had a chance to hear about your child's progress and some of their successes in the first marking period. Teachers enjoyed updating families on their child's progress, as well as, providing feedback about the skills they are developing.
Just as we did at the beginning of the year, I invite you to share a fun picture of your family sharing a tradition. It can be a winter or holiday picture or any picture you would like to share...old or new. It could be a picture of your family playing in the snow! Pictures will be displayed on our Blair Mill lobby television as another way of connecting our Blair Mill families. The children and teachers love stopping in the lobby to see who shows up on our TV.
Email pictures to jjones@hatboro-horsham.org by Monday, December 13, 2021.
Most importantly, this month we honor the traditions and holidays of all of your families all year long whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Diwali, Chinese New Year, Christmas, Ramadan or any holiday. We value and appreciate the diversity of our school community and the traditions and customs of everyone.
Have a terrific week!
Stay safe, happy and healthy!
Dr. Gee
