WEek of May 3

Dear Parents:

We are hoping that April's showers will be bringing May flowers!! We are very busy getting ready for our Grade 3-4-5 End of Grade Testing (EOGs), which begin for Fifth grade on May 14. If you have a child in any of these grades, please be sure that you are providing a stress-free environment during testing, providing a good nutritious breakfast, and providing positive encouragement for your child.

Our PTA has received many recognition awards this past week at the PTA Banquet. We were recognized for the following categories: New Hanover County Outstanding PTA Unit Award, District 2 Membership Awards, Ruby Acorn Award, National Healthy Lifestyles and the Communications Award. We are so proud of our PTA and all that they done this year for our students, faculty and school.

Please help us appreciate our staff on May 5. Ask the PTA how you can help them help us celebrate.

Wednesday evening from 6-8 pm is the Rita's Ice Cream PTA fundraiser. Part of the proceeds will benefit the PTA, which in turn will benefit Blair students. Please help support them!

On Friday evening, our school will be celebrating four retirees from Blair. The following will be retiring as of July 1, 2010:
Mary Ann Clay-Teacher Assistant
Ernestine Freeman-Teacher Assistant
Rosemary Minton-Data Manager
Sue Stott-Technology Facilitator
Please join me in wishing them the best extended vacation ever!

Hoping everyone has a great and relaxing weekend!

Yours in Education,

Barbara Stock
