In honor of Earth Day students will be sharing facts about the earth.  Today's fact is: 78% of marine animals are threatened with accidental deaths, like getting caught in a plastic bag.  

Today's Friday Funny is submitted by Anonymous:  Why couldn't the pony sing?  Because she was a little horse!   Thanks for the smile and happy Friday everyone. 

An important reminder:  Our new intramural boy's volleyball program starts on Monday, April 11th. Any boys in grades 6,7 and 8 are eligible to join.  You MUST be registered in order to attend on Monday.  Registration links are found on Blanchard's Athletics page. This is a great opportunity to learn the skills for a sport that is gaining in popularity!

Registration is closed at the end of the day today for all sports EXCEPT boy's volleyball.

Next Tuesday students and staff are invited to join Blanchard's Outdoor Adventure Club for a hike up Kissacook Hill.  We will leave at 2 pm and be back in time for the late bus.  Students need a signed permission slip.  Pick up a copy in the Learning Commons or download one from the OAC webpage.
