Thank You, Blanton Community!
Thank you for helping us keep positivity and respect at the center of all we do here at Blanton. Our teachers, staff members, students, and families deserve nothing less. We look forward to this year and all the good things that will come out of it.

Counselor's Corner
At Blanton, we work hard to teach our students the skills they need to be happy, healthy and successful in all areas of life. Take a look at the topics and lessons included in this year’s Guidance Program at Blanton, and be sure to keep an eye out in the future for activities for our families to do at home to reinforce these topics throughout the school year.
Volunteer Opportunities
Grandparent Breakfast Volunteers
The PTA will be hosting a light breakfast for students and their grandparents on September 15th and 16th. They need your help to make this a success. The PTA is looking for 12 volunteers, on both days, 6:45am-8am. You can sign up here or by visiting BlantonPTA.org and selecting “volunteer signup. Volunteering for this event is a great way to snap a photo of your child and their grandparent.
Yearbook Photos
In order to capture all the special moments and events throughout the school year, the PTA needs your help in sourcing yearbook pictures. Pictures can be uploaded to the “Yearbook Snap” app, available in the App Store (android and iPhone) and entering the code blanton2022. Please submit your first day of school / meet the teacher pictures now. It’s quick and easy to do!

Reflections Contest
National PTA's Reflections program provides opportunities for recognition and access to the arts which boost student confidence and success in the arts and in life.
Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. This 50+ year-old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.
The Reflections theme for the 2021-22 school year is "I Will Change the World By..." Students submit their completed works of art in one or all of the available arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual Arts.
Students participate in the appropriate division for their grade: Primary (Pre-K - Grade 2) or Intermediate (Grades 3-5).
Submissions are due no later than Oct. 22nd.
