Do you want to be part of one of the most popular clubs at Blanchard? If so, plan on attending our ski club meeting this week.  On Thurs. 10/7 during morning Advisory at 7:40 am any 7th or 8th grade student interested in joining the ski club should report to the auditorium for more information. On Friday, 10/8 6th graders will have their meeting during mid-morning Advisory at 10:35 am, also in the auditorium.  It may seem too early to be thinking about snow but it will be here before you know it!

The ADL leader application deadline has been extended to this Friday, October 8. The ADL leader program trains 7th and 8th grade students in how to have difficult conversations and create a positive, inclusive school community. Meetings are all held during school hours so there is no conflict with other groups or clubs. Please see Mrs Rice, Mrs Gupta, Mrs Brostowin, or Mrs Wolber if you have any questions.
