Tribute to Our Teachers
Brrr.....It's Cold Outside
Home & School would like to ask for parent volunteers to help cover car and bus duty for each of our teachers for one whole week. This will take place the week of January 22 through the 26th.
It's not too late to be a part of this special gesture for BOE staff. We need your HELP!
Please take a look at the sign-up and see if there is a time that would work for you. As always, the Blair Oaks Elementary Home & School thanks you very much for your continued support!
3rd Quarter Humble and Kind
Samaritan Center has requested donations of canned soups, spaghettios, ravioli, and Ramen Noodles - any type of items to "keep you warm".
