First Day of School

Dear Blair Parents: Welcome to our first day at Blair! For those of you who are already Blair family-we are glad to have you back...for those of you who are new to our Blair family-WELCOME!

Our first school day was wonderful. Our Kindergarten students searched for the gingerbread man all day long and had a terrific time. They asked a million questions and wanted answers to all of them. I don't know who was more tired at the end of the day-the teachers or the students. They are all so energized and it was a breath of fresh air watching them all be so excited about school and learning! We are expecting that they will all be reading by next week!

Our other grades were also very excited to be back to school. Students spent the day relearning rules and expectations. Our three rules to live by at Blair are to be "respectful, responsible and safe." Students also enjoyed seeing old classmates and meeting new ones as well.

We had a full house today with a grand total of 619 students! We have more fourth graders than we have ever had before, and are hoping to gain another teacher to join our Blair staff soon.

We hope that all parents will help us in some capacity of volunteering-whether at school, at home or in the form of goodies, donations to the classroom or help in some way. Research shows that involved parents have involved students. Please help us instill that community spirit in our children at Blair. Everyone can do something in some way to help our students succeed. Please offer your child's teacher any assistance that you can. It will be much appreciated!!

We thank you for sending your child to Blair. We promise to take good care of your child during the school day. Our goals include teaching your child to live well socially through our monthly character traits, to show growth academically and emotionally and to be respectful, responsible and safe throughout the school year and beyond. We have a wonderful nurturing and loving staff that loves children and love being teachers. Blair is just a wonderfully happy place to be at! Please let us know if we can assist you or your child in any way.

Yours in Education,

Barbara Stock
Principal
