Blevins Bulletin

Hello Blevins Families,

Our 7th and 8th grade Band students have been making us incredibly proud this week! Yesterday, they delivered a fantastic performance here at Blevins, showcasing their hard work and talent. Today, they represented our school beautifully at the Nordic Music Festival at Lesher Middle School, and we are so proud of the way they continue to shine as musicians and Bruins.

Looking ahead, please save the date for our Blevins Open House on Tuesday, November 18, from 5:00–7:00 PM. While this event welcomes incoming 5th grade families to get to know our school, it’s also open to all of our current families. You’ll get to see how our students engage in Project-Based Learning across classes, connect with staff, and share in the energy of our learning community. It’s also a great opportunity to talk with future families about your own experiences with Blevins. Dinner will be served, so bring your appetite and your Bruin pride!

Proudly,

Joe Zappa, Principal

Student & Staff Halloween Costumes (Important Information Below)

We’re excited to share that our annual PTO fundraiser has officially wrapped up—thank you to everyone who donated and participated! While we’re still finalizing totals, it looks like our sixth-grade class came out on top and that we’ve also reached our schoolwide fundraising goal.

A huge thank-you to all who attended the Bruin Bash and supported our school through donations. We’re especially grateful to our event sponsors, whose generosity made it possible for every student and staff member to receive a Bruin Bash T-shirt.

Our next PTO meeting will be Tuesday, October 28, from 5:30–7:00 PM in the Collaboration Café—we’d love to see you there!

Funds raised will be used throughout the year to support students and staff through pre-scheduled PTO-supported events and teacher mini grants.
