November 7, 2025 Principal's Message
Hello Blevins Families,
What a week at Blevins! Thanks to the incredible generosity and support of our families, we officially met—and even passed—our $15,000 goal for the Bruin Bash fundraiser in October. As promised, the students got to duct tape me to the wall today, and they took full advantage of it! It was a hilarious moment of school spirit, and I’m grateful for the way our community rallies together to support opportunities for our students.
A quick reminder to save the date for our Blevins Open House on Tuesday, November 18, from 5:00–7:00 PM. This event welcomes incoming 5th grade families, but we also encourage our current families to join us. You’ll get a firsthand look at the engaging Project-Based Learning happening in our classrooms—and it’s a great chance to share your positive experiences with families considering Blevins. Dinner will be served, so bring your appetite and your Bruin pride.
Finally, a big shout-out to our boys’ basketball teams for their hard work and strong performances this week. Their teamwork, effort, and sportsmanship continue to represent Blevins in the best way.
Thank you for all you do to make Blevins such a special place.
Proudly,
Joe Zappa, Principal
