Blevins Bulletin

Hello Blevins Families,

I'd like to simply express my gratitude to you! In my three years at Blevins, I have been consistently overwhelmed by your support, generosity, and passion for Blevins. Thanks for your partnership and commitment with us in creating the best middle school environment possible for our students. I hope this Fall Break brings your family relaxation and joy. Please reach out to our team if there is anything that we can do for your student(s) as we move into the holiday season.

Proudly,

Joe Zappa, Principal

Red-eye travelers on the westbound 518 are in for a surprise when first one passenger, and then another, mysteriously drop dead right before their eyes — just as the train is halted by a rockslide in an isolated canyon. Because the pair appears to have been poisoned, anyone and everyone in the train dining car is a suspect!

Unable to call for help, the eccentric passengers — including two newlyweds, an astronomy professor, a sports recruiter, a CEO, a movie star, an aspiring musician, and others — try to work together to find the murderer before they reach their destination and the killer escapes for good! Unfortunately, not everything — or everyone — is as it seems.

Hold on tight — Murder on the 518 is quite the ride!
