It's all blue skies in Blue Rapids
It has been an exciting week at Blue Rapids Elementary. Firefighters Jason Hemry and Monty Shanks visited the building and conducted a fire safety assembly. Thank you Jason and Monty for your heart for the kids and the community. We also had a visit from the Rotarians this week. The 6th grade leadership team presented to the Rotary club about their program and everything they do throughout the year. It was a great time for both the students and adults.
As Halloween approaches, I know kids are already getting excited about their costumes. Just some friendly reminders about costumes at school. In order to not impede the educational process no masks or heavy make-up. Please make sure your child's costume is school appropriate, no weapons or blood/gore. The students always dress up and make Halloween so much fun, I am excited!
As we move into the 2nd quarter of school, I just absolutely love this fall weather and the beautiful fall colors. I pray you all are able to get out and enjoy it! It won't be long, and we will be bundled up with cold weather.

- 5th/6th grade field trip to the Topeka symphony October 24th
