Blaze Bulletin
Edition 17 - Week of January 5th
Greetings
Dear teachers/staff,
Thank you for a wonderful 1st semester. I think this is the best semester in education I've ever had, and it's because I am fortunate enough to be working with the greatest faculty/staff in the nation! I know our 26 new teachers feel the same way - it's easy to fall into the "Blackman Way," and that's because you all make it so easy by being helpful and caring. Our kids are lucky. Our parents are lucky. Those of us who are new to BHS are lucky. Thanks to all and have a great holiday!

ROTC
The Blackman Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) Cadets donated over $700 to purchase Thanksgiving meals for five families in the Blackman area. The Cadets delivered the meals to the families' homes. This activity is an annual event. The Cadets are committed to performing community service projects.
Reminder...
Tardies got a bit out of control. We all have to work together on this one, and everyone must enforce!

Anti-Bullying Campaign
In January we will kick off our month long anti-bully campaign. Student posters will be displayed throughout the school reminding everyone how to prevent and stop bullying.
If you have a teacher's aide (not a drivers education aide) and they have not turned in their Anti-Bully poster, I need to see them right away.
