The week prior to fall break Ms. Berry's class in kindergarten hosted a "Counting Cafe." Mrs. Berry's class has been practicing their counting and sorting skills. As a result, the "Counting Cafe" was an opportunity to practice even more and fulfill some lunch orders using a menu created by Mrs. Berry. This was also a wonderful opportunity to practice social skills. Great job!

Each year we encourage our students to continue learning during the extended breaks such as Fall Break, Thanksgiving Break, etc. This Wednesday, your child should bring home a pink sheet in his/her Blossomwood folder (as pictured below) with the directions for participating in the voluntary Fall Break Learning Challenge which includes a reading, math, and family event challenge.

More specifically, one ticket can be earned for completing the reading challenge, one ticket can be earned for completing the math challenge, and/or one ticket can be earned for completing the family challenge. To be clear, the child can choose to do one, two, or all three challenges. We will be giving away several donated prizes including gift cards for ice cream, wireless headphones, etc.

Please see below for additional details.

The record sheet (on the back) for the Learning Challenge is due Monday, Oct. 12, 2026 to Dr. Scott. An adult signature is required at the bottom of the completed sheet.

Don't forget ALL students at Blossomwood are welcome to a FREE breakfast and lunch from our cafeteria.

• If your child would like a breakfast, please remind them to come directly to the cafeteria upon arrival. We serve breakfast from 7:30 to 7:50 am which allows students to be in their classroom ready to learn at 8:00 am.
• If you have questions about your child’s account, please email our cafeteria manager Ms. Petty at mirtha.petty@hsv-k12.org.

If you would like to volunteer and become more involved at Blossomwood, please reach out to our parent coordinator, Ms. Chelsea Clay. She will be glad to help find a role just for you! In fact, part of her role as parent coordinator includes establishing a parent advisory committee, hosting parent events, leading parent trainings, building relationships with all parents in our school, and acting as a liaison between the parent community and the school.
