Black Lake Elementary

Hello BLE Families,

In preparation for Veteran's Day, we are honoring our BLE family veterans with an assembly Tuesday, November 10th at 9:15 AM. If you, or someone close to you, is a veteran or active duty military member, please invite them to the school to be celebrated!

As part of the event, we are putting together a slideshow of BLE family veterans. If you would like to add anyone to our presentation, please complete one of the google slides on the link provided, share it back to Avery Butler by clicking share and typing my email (avery.butler@tumwater.k12.wa.us), and we will do the rest! Slides need to be back to us by November 6th, thank you! Note: If you have created a slide in the past, it is still a part of our presentation (no need to share again)! 🙂

Slideshow link (this will prompt you to make your own copy first - after you add your photo and name, you can share it back to Avery and we will add your slide(s) to our master presentation): https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/13pOD9Ke6VkGND60xRIoU3svG-rSTyWezss2ZNhug_vI/copy

Thank you!

3rd-5th Graders had fun learning about Bicycle Safety over the last 3 weeks during their PE class. We ended with a bike rodeo around the outdoor track! Mrs. Calabrese appreciates the parent volunteers who helped throughout the program! We will do it again next year!

Coats, Sweatshirts, and Hoodies.. Oh My!

Over the course of the last two months our Lost and Found coat collection has grown and grown! Please take a moment during conference week to check out the Lost and Found for your students’ coats, sweatshirts, or hoodies… We do have a donation pick up that usually happens shortly after conference week.

Thank you!
