Food Drive - THANK YOU!
BLECC BlueJays are the Best!
With your help, our campus donated over 4,800 items and purchased 21 turkeys for our families in need right here on our campus! Thank you so much for supporting our food drive. Each of the 21 families were given two large boxes of groceries and a turkey.
And the Winner is...
Every student received a small token of appreciation by being given a coupon for either a free root beer float or soft serve cone at Peter Piper's Pizza.
We had 9 classes that brought in over 100 items per class. The following classes will be rewarded with a pizza party and dance party next week with our very own BlueJay mascot!
Congratulations to the following classes:
Ms. Charles/Ms. Osegueda
Mrs. Ervin
Mrs. Leija
Mrs. V. Rodriguez
