Blaze Bulletin
Edition 17 Week of January 29
Greetings...
Dear Teachers,
Homecoming week went extremely well. Our students really enjoyed this fun-filled week of events. The themed dress up days were all well supported. And, of course, the Homecoming festivities will culminate on Friday and Saturday with the Basketball games & Homecoming Dance on Saturday.
I would like to thank everyone for supporting our kids. The kids behaved well and that's a complement to all of you.
Go blaze!
