Representatives from the UK Ministry of Defense, Ed Harris, and Russell Collier, visited several classrooms yesterday! They are pictured below holding artwork from our students.

The representatives engaged with our students, saw amazing teaching, and left with an amazing impression of the culture we created at Blair! From the moment they walked in, they recognized Blair is a special place.

They even loved Ms. Fagala dancing in the hallway greeting students in the hallway!

Interim Report Cards will go home with students on Monday, September 30, 2024, during block 8.

We are pleased to announce our variety of clubs and grateful for the staff members that are sponsoring these clubs for our students. Activities offered by clubs enable students to learn valuable skills and many of the activities offered by clubs help students to extend and elaborate on the more formal knowledge learned in school.
Times and dates will be shared with you after you sign up by the club sponsor. If you have any questions, please contact the club sponsor. Most clubs will start soon. Clubs will be held on Tuesday or Thursday because we can provide bus transportation (5:07 departure) for students that meet the requirements; club sponsor will let you know if the clubs meets on a different day. A form will be sent home to students when clubs start that give permission for students to stay after school. Students must use this form and sign a permission form to stay back.
You must use your NPS email account to sign in and sign up for a club.

Volunteers are needed for our dance. Click the button below to sign up. You must be an approved NPS volunteer to be able to chaperone the dance. The volunteer form is at the bottom of this newsletter.

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has provided a toolkit with information and resources below.

We also have a list of Community resources available on our Blair webpage under the School Counseling and Guidance page.

If you or someone you know is in crisis or struggling with mental health issues, please reach out for support. Remember, asking for help is an important step. You can contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988, or visiting 988lifeline.org. and of course, always feel free to reach out to our School Counseling department.

Our students love earning rewards for positive behavior! Please consider donating to our Amazon wish list to put items on the Blair Buck cart for our students to purchase this school year.
