Blanchard will be running a food drive to support the Westford Food Pantry.  As the holidays approach it is important for us to think of others and how we can help those within our community.  The food pantry is in need of items such as:   canned vegetables and soup, condiments and dry goods such as flour, coffee, sugar, and mixes.  Any items that have not expired and are non-perishable are welcome.  We will begin collecting items on November 3rd and will encourage students to bring their donations to the designated boxes near the auditorium during homeroom or first advisory.  If we have collected 600 items by Friday, November 19th when the fundraiser ends, we will be rewarded with a free spirit day on Wednesday,  November 24th.  

Yearbook Cover Contest:  All entries must be handwritten and submitted no later than December 3rd to room 38.  It must include the school's name and year.  The artist's name must be on the bottom right corner of the page and the page must include a white border and background.  

The theme for the November 19th meeting of the Blanchard Book Club is "Historical Fiction, written in Graphic Novel Format". Grade 6 will be discussing Superman Smashes the Klan by Gene Luen Yang.  Grades 7 and 8 will be discussing Displacement by Kiku Hughes. Stop by the Learning Commons if you would like to join us and don't yet have a copy of the book.

Fitness Club meets tomorrow after school.  Please see Mr. Morgan if you have any questions.

Harmonics rehearsal has been cancelled for today.
