We need your help
Every three years, the Counseling Department asks for feedback from parents, students, and staff as part of the Missouri Comprehensive Guidance and Counseling model. This is an important piece of feedback to determine the direction of counseling in the Blair Oaks R-II School District. Please take 2-3 minutes to give the district counselors your thoughts. Thanks so much!

Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament - November 20
Parents: In an effort to have fun, while also raising money for a great cause, we will be hosting an intense Rock, Paper, Scissors Tournament for BOE students! This will occur on Wednesday, November 20th. Students will compete against their grade level peers until we have an ultimate champion for each grade! These champions will then be allowed to choose a prize from Mr. Wise’s office.
*Kindergarten and 1st grade will be playing a slightly different, but comparable and exciting game!*
Entry Fee: .50 Cents
All proceeds go toward our 2nd quarter service project- The Children's Miracle Network.

Art to Remember
Art to Remember Order deadline is Monday, 11/18/2019
This week students brought home Art to Remember order forms.
Our school is participating in a fundraiser with Art to Remember that gives you the opportunity to purchase keepsake items customized with your child’s artwork. Not only do the products make great gifts for friends and family members, but every order supports our school! You can order online or with the personalized order form. Online you will need your child's code from their personalized order form. What I have really enjoyed by ordering online is that I can also order my child's artwork from past years.
Order deadline is Monday, 11/18/2019
Any questions please contact Swantje Crane ,Blair Oaks Elementary Art teacher, at: scrane@blairoaks.org
Six Flags Reading Program
As before:
- Students need to read six hours in order to earn a free ticket.
- A teacher will need to have 8 students earn tickets in order to receive a free ticket herself.
- The program runs from November to February.
- These tickets are only valid at the St. Louis theme park.
Changes:
- When the students have met their goal, parents will go online to record the information. They no longer need to return tickets to school.
- Students can earn bonus awards by reading extra minutes to earn discounts on additional tickets for family members. Either they haven't set what those goals are yet or I have yet to find that information.
