PARENT WEEKEND: Parents are arriving on campus today for the Spring Parent Weekend despite the heavy downpour. The seniors awarded their traditional teacher awards at this morning's assembly.
Due to the weather, all athletic events have been postponed today. The music concert has been rescheduled to 4PM, the Parent Reception will be held at 5PM and the Art Reception is now at 7:30PM. We'll include an update on this weekend in next Friday's newsletter.
YEARBOOKS: The yearbook editors are hard at work creating the 2016-2017 yearbook and there will be an online version available to all. Hardcopy yearbooks are
free for all seniors and will be mailed to their homes this summer. Parents of 9th, 10th and 11th graders can pre-order yearbooks with this form: https://form.jotform.us/70894539072162.
Senior parents, please send high res images of your son as a baby or toddler to hkeldermans@blueridgeschool.com. We want to include these on the senior pages of the yearbook.
