Volunteers Needed
We are needing a few more volunteers to help with the Halloween treat for our students. Our Home and School purchases nachos for all students and staff. Volunteers are needed about 1:00 on October 31st to start serving nachos and help deliver to classrooms around 2:00. Please email or call the office if you are available to help.
Adopt a Teacher
We are looking to try something new for our teachers. For this program, we ask for families to encourage one of our teachers you are assigned. Families could send positive notes or a small treat to lift spirits of their adopted teacher. There would be no specific requirements beyond doing what you feel led to do. If this is something you are interested in being a part of or would like to know more, please email Mrs. Walters - kwalters@blairoaks.org
