Falcon Flyer
Blair Oaks High School - December 6, 2019
Think about it Thursday!
We are practicing for:
ASVAB - military
Accuplacer - Technical college/ Community college
Work force - learning about careers
ACT - 4-year university
They can also practice at home; they just need to set up the account while they are at school. Most students should have done this already. Each student should have made an account with Learning Express. (https://www.learningexpresshub.com/)
Feel free to learn more from the presentation that Jill Shanley put together.
Students of the Month
Spanish Club Fundraiser ~ 12/2-12/16
The Spanish club is participating in the Pulsera Project. They are selling "Pulseras" (bracelets) for $5.00 and "bolsitas" (mini purses) for $10.00 from 12/02/2019 - 12/16/2019. These products are handwoven, and are of many different vibrant colors. The project is very important, because this is how many people in South America make a living.
The Pulsera Project is a nonprofit organization that educates, empowers, and connects Central American artists with students in more than 2,800 U.S. schools. They brighten U.S. schools with art and compelling cultural education while employing nearly 200 artists and investing proceeds to create lasting change in Central American communities.

Cookie Drive ~ Dec. 12
The Jefferson City Community will once again help Maureen Murphy bake cookies for sailors on the USS Murphy. The ship has 267 sailors and they love their sweets.

- You can help by donating money to help pay for shipping cost.
Please write check to: Blair Oaks
- Gather with your friends and family to bake cookies to send to the sailors on the USS Michael Murphy. Any variety of cookie will be greatly appreciated!
- Place the cookies in Ziploc bags and bring them to Blair Oaks High School (Coach Holtmeyer’s room) on Thursday, December 12th.

Thanks so much!

Mark Your Calendar
- July 4-12, 2020
- August 2-9, 2020
July's dead week will be for sports and activities and it means that the campus and weight room are completely closed to all extra curricular activities.
August's dead week is for all fall sports. MSHSAA requires all sports to have a dead week prior to their first practice. This dead week is only for sport specific coaching. We can still lift and condition.
What does this mean to parents and athletes? You have options for vacations, kids have a chance to let their bodies rest and they can be kids.
Mark your calendars!
