Bluejacket Family Communication
April 19, 2024
Dear Bluejacket Families
At our School Board meeting last night, we celebrated our Volunteers. Volunteers are at the heart of our partnership with our community. From guest readers to grandparents in primary schools, volunteer co-curricular coaches to field trip chaperones, guest speakers to career mentors, classroom volunteers, PTO leaders, and business owners — we have an entire community that rallies in support of our children and our schools. THANK YOU!
Good luck to our CIHS Varsity Speech Team, competing at State this weekend. As defending Section 7AA Champions, our Bluejacket Varsity Speech Team set two school records: 23 entrants (25 students) made it to the Sectional finals, and nine entrants (10 students) earned a trip to the state tournament.
We have much to celebrate! Please scroll down to read more incredible updates.
Finally, tonight is the Bluejacket Education Foundation Future Fest! If you’d like to bid on auction items, you can do so online! They are raising money to expand opportunities for our students. Thank you to all the volunteers, sponsors and donors!
Go Big BLUE!
Nate Rudolph
Superintendent

Celebrating our Hardworking Bluejacket Staff!
This week, we are celebrating our Adventure Center and after-school programming staff! They are caring and energetic role models who keep our children actively engaged and expand their interests after school.
April 24 is Administrative Office Professionals Day! Please take time to send a note of thanks or a handmade card to our office staff. They greet visitors with a warm welcome and keep our offices functioning efficiently. Their professionalism and kindness can defuse stressful situations. We appreciate them!
Looking forward, the first week of May is Teacher Appreciation Week and School Lunch Hero Week. Our teachers and lunch staff work most closely with our children and leave a lasting impact! In many communities across the country, respect for education is disappearing. Please join us in letting our teachers know we appreciate their care, influence and unending commitment to inspiring our children to make the world a better place. A heartfelt thank you goes a long way!
