On Sept. 30, President Biden officially proclaimed October 2021 as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To get involved at Blanchard, we are making Thursday PINK SPIRIT DAY. By wearing pink, we will be united as a school community to pay tribute to those who have lost their lives to breast cancer, support survivors, and recognize the millions of families and medical professionals who dedicate their lives to providing care and hope to those impacted by the disease. 

Any seventh or eighth grade student council members who are available and have permission from their teachers please come to Mrs. Manning's room (Room 3) during SECOND advisory today.

The Blanchard Learning Commons is hosting a "Scary Stories" event during mid day advisories on Thursday October 28, 2021.  We will close the doors, turn off the lights and listen together to short, creepy tales.  You must sign up by the end of the school day on Wednesday using the form on the Learning Commons website.  Space is limited.  

 Friday, October 29th will be Halloween Spirit Day at Blanchard! Get spooky! Be creative! Come to school in costume or wear your orange and black! This has become a scary fun tradition for students and staff at Blanchard because everyone makes school-appropriate choices. Some guidelines are listed below.

Halloween Spirit Day Costume Guidelines:  Students are still required to wear a mask at all times while in the building. No costume masks, please. Hats will be allowed if part of a costume and not covering your face.  No costumes that could be offensive or a risk to safety.  No weapons, sharp objects, chains or anything that could be perceived as a weapon, damage property, or cause injury.

The deadline for ski club sign up is Friday, October 29th.  See Mrs. Casey, Mr. Merrigan, or Mrs. Ottesen if you have any questions.
