Blaze Bulletin
Edition 11 - October 31st
Greetings...
Dear teachers,
It was exciting to watch some of you as you visited other teachers this week for Tech Tuesday. The feedback was great, and more and more instructional technology is being used around the building - and that's great for kids! Thanks, Holly, for orchestrating this. Remember to do your classroom visit for this semester soon, and don't forget to debrief with the teacher you visit. I'm proud of the culture of sharing and professionalism that permeates this school. Go Blaze!
Sincerely,
Dr. Leisa Justus
Principal, Blackman High School

Mr. Boo is coming.....
This treat is for you. I hope you enjoy.
The idea is simple. I hope you employ.
You pass “Boo” along to three other neighbors
Along with any kind of Halloween favors.
If we all do our part, and spread the good cheer,
By Halloween night it will be very clear.
We’re a friendly bunch. We like to share fun.
So please do your part to share in the fun!
Directions.
1. If you don’t want to participate, pass Mr. Boo onto another. However, put the sign on your door.
2. Enjoy your treat and put Mr. BOO immediately on the outside of your door so that everyone knows that you have been BOO’ED.
3. Tomorrow bring a “Boo” for three friends to get “Boo’ed”.
4. Give a copy of this paper so that they will know how to continue the “Boo.”
5. This will end 10/31/16.
