Dear Blue Ridge Families,
We are thrilled to invite you to our Community Engagement Night on May 1, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM at Blue Ridge Primary. 🍕🍪
Come enjoy delicious pizza (served from 5:30 until it's gone) and cookies while learning how to help your student "Prevent the Summer Slide." During this event, families will receive fun and educational activities to do with their students over the summer.
Please join us as we gear up for a fun night of enriching activities designed to keep your child busy and learning throughout the summer. It's a wonderful opportunity to connect with other families and get valuable tips to support your child's education.
See you there!
Mrs. Kandi Kaiser organized and made this Little Library happen. Thank you so much Mrs. Kaiser. This message is what she sent to our staff.
I am so excited to share that Blue Ridge Elementary now has its very own Little Free Library! It is located along the sidewalk next to the bus loop. Through grants from Donors Choose, we received the kit to build the library and our outstanding JCS Maintenance Department installed it for us. The library is registered on the Little Free Library world map, too! We also received a variety of books from the Donors Choose organization, so the library is fully stocked and ready for Summer reading! Please let your students and families know that the library is open 24/7, 365 days a year.
Happy reading!
Dear Blue Ridge Families,
We are excited to invite you to our Family Game Night hosted by the PTO on April 25th from 5:30-7:30 PM. There will be fun for all with games, hot dogs, prizes, and more! Your students should have brought home a flyer yesterday for you to return if you are attending.
We look forward to seeing you there!
