To view after school clubs visit the Blanchard Events Calendar on the Blanchard website.

Deadline for Ski club permission slips and checks has been extended to Wednesday, Dec. 6th.

Thank you to all the students who attended the planning meeting for Coding Club yesterday. We now have a plan: Coding Club will meet after school one or two Thursdays each month. (Mrs. Brandt will get dates on the calendar soon) Each meeting will have a free challenge that can be done on a chromebook. Experienced coders will help beginners with the challenge.

The December hike of the Outdoor Adventure club will be after school next Tuesday. You are welcome to join us, even if you haven't come before. Since we will be leaving school property, students need a signed permission slip. Pick one up in the Learning Commons, or download one from the OAC webpage.

An eighth grader is starting a coat drive for charity right here at Blanchard Middle School! The drive will run from 12/1 to 12/23. Collection boxes will be placed in the front of the school outside the office. Coats should be in good condition (no rips, tears, stains). After December 23, the coats will be dropped off to the Salvation Army for distribution to those in need. Thank you for your consideration!

Student Council is collecting Toys for Tots now through December 7th. Bring in new, unwrapped toys to your advisory. The advisory that collects the most toys will win a donut party!

Registration and permission slips for the 8th grade trip to Boston are due Friday December 15th. If you need a new copy of the information packet, we have them in the main office.
