Students First ~ December 21, 2017
Look Who Came To Visit Our 1st Graders
Christmas Caroling
Students, faculty, and staff started Wednesday morning with some old time Christmas Carols - Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, and Up on the Housetop to name a few. We had a spontaneous challenge that added a little excitement. Ms. Rodriguez challenged the teachers and staff to create their own version of the Twelve Days of Christmas. You can catch a glimpse on the link below. We were all very impressed with their creativity and enthusiasm. Enjoy!
Humble + Kind Quarterly Service Project Change Bandit
Looking ahead to next quarter......we will be supporting the efforts of the Falcon Flyers as they collect needed items for the Samaritan Center. More information will be coming home after the first of the year.
Kindness Calendar
Brrrr......It's Cold Outside
Home & School is asking for parent volunteers to help cover car and bus duty for each of our teachers for one whole week. This will take place the week of January 22 through the 26th. Please take a look at the sign up, and see if there is a time that would work for you. As always, the Blair Oaks Elementary Home & School thanks you very much for your continued support!

School Cancellations
Information regarding school closings or schedule changes due to extreme weather will be posted on the cancellation page of the Blair Oaks district website as soon as a decision is made. Typically, a decision to close school is made just prior to 6:00 AM on the morning in question. On days that our district is closed, our broadcast telephone messaging system will call all district families on their primary contact number at approximately 6:00 AM to announce the closing. The Blair Oaks R-II School District will post school closings or schedule changes on the local radio and television stations.
