I have a list of people who did not receive sports pictures or had something wrong with their order. I called and left a message with Niki at Interstate Studios. I will get this corrected asap. I am fairly certain those that ordered on line will be mailed to your home or in a bundle to school. Either way, I will have an answer for you when it comes.

Thank you to Mrs. Putt and Mrs. Bejma's MS ELA classes for this tribute.

Yesterday we held the 2nd annual Bluford Bash GS Cross Country meet! The kids ran fantastic and we ended the day with 4 medals, a varsity individual champion, and a girls team champion!
I want to give a huge shoutout to the school, parents, and community for all of the support that you have given to this team, you have been nothing short of amazing! Thank you all so much!

We are three weeks into the school year and issues around COVID have been very minimal. We have had a total of six positive cases, all from contact outside of the school. The most important part of this though is that we have had ZERO close contact exclusions as a result of that because of the mitigation measures in place. Also, we have our testing in place which has helped keep kids in school as well. Make it a great holiday weekend!
So far we have had a great turn out for our School Store fundraiser. We will continue to accept forms until next Friday, Sept. 10th.
