Mr. Gowler's Conservation class practiced tying fishing knots today.
The Field JH CC meet Saturday itself was not canceled. We are just canceling our participation given the circumstances.
We are in need of substitute aides for both the grade school and high school. If you have a paraprofessional license and are interested in subbing, please contact the office.
Also, we are still searching for bus drivers, full time and substitutes! If you currently have a CDL or are wanting to get one, we could use your help! It is a rewarding job, with minimal hours in the morning and afternoon. Great way to supplement income with a current job or as a retiree looking for extra revenue.
Just to clarify, the JH CC meet Saturday at Field has been canceled along with all our other events canceled for this week. I will try to find another meet on a more suitable day.
Bluford Ruritan Club Breakfast!!

I put this out yesterday but I was told it didn't take for whatever reason so I'll give it another go. Webber/Bluford outdoor activities: Baseball, Softball, Cross Country, are all canceled for the rest of this week, Aug. 22-26. I tried pushing back start times but with this heat even that was not enough. With safety in mind we made this decision. Each coach was instructed in what to do to have a safe practice should they opt to hold one. I am doing my best to reschedule what I can. Stay tuned sports fans.
All practices and games for today, Tuesday, August 22nd have been canceled due to excessive heat.
This message was sent out 2 hours ago, but the system alerted there was an error and did not send. We apologize for the late notice.
August 22- Cross country practice for the day has been cancelled.
