Calendar of Events from Village of Bluford and information on the Spectrum Town Hall meeting.
Come out and support our students and help our seniors earn scholarships! Our blood drive is Wednesday, November 12th from 12-5pm at the Bluford Ruritan Building.
We have some cold weather coming in next week! As a reminder, we will try to have PE and recess times outside as much as possible, weather permitting. Please send your child with a coat/jacket. Remind your children to keep track of their coat/jacket as our lost and found fills up quickly this time of year with kids leaving them in various places.

🧬 7th Grade Science Spotlight! 🧫
Our 7th graders wrapped up their unit on Cells and Viruses by creating their own models of either a prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell and presenting them to the class. 🌟 Their creativity, effort, and scientific understanding truly shined through! They worked so hard and did an amazing job—I’m so proud of their dedication and teamwork! 💪🔬
