Blevins Bulletin

Hello Blevins Families,

I want to begin by celebrating the incredible effort our students showed during CMAS testing this week. They approached each day with focus, perseverance, and a positive attitude, and I couldn’t be prouder of how they represented their knowledge and our school. We greatly appreciate the support from families in helping students arrive rested and ready to do their best. A reminder that our 8th graders will continue next week with CMAS Science testing on Tuesday, and we know they will rise to the occasion once again.

We also want to give a big shout-out to our Track & Field team as they prepare for their first meet next week. At the same time, our Boys Golf team is already in full swing, representing our school with dedication and sportsmanship. We wish both teams the best as their seasons get underway.

A quick note of celebration that this week was National Assistant Principals' Week. Blevins is so fortunate to have Ms. Dusti Sanger and Mr. Scott Schreiner as our AP's. These are two of the most committed and caring individuals that you will find.

As you roll into a new week, a reminder to please never hesitate to reach out to me and the rest of our team should you have any questions, if your child needs support, or if you just want to chat. We are here for you.

Thanks, as always, for your continued partnership and support. Have a wonderful weekend!

Proudly,

Joe Zappa, Principal

The Lobos Community Coordinators are proud to announce the 2nd Annual People of the Pack: Belonging in our Identities Cultural Night.

On May 1st we will be hosting an event to celebrate the different cultures and identities at Rocky.

The event will start with Cultural Tables (4:45-5:15) . These tables are designed to celebrate the differences within our school and community. If any incoming freshman and their families would like to sign up for a table, please have them fill out the brief survey . After the cultural tables, we will transition to Opening Entertainment and our Keynote Speaker (Jamal Skinner)(5:30- 6). When opening ceremonies are over, we will move into our first breakout session (6:10-6:40) (students will be able to pick whatever session they want to attend) . Our breakout sessions will be presented by a few clubs here at Rocky. After the first breakout session concluded, we will then be serving dinner (6:40-7:30) (donated from local restaurants). Next, we will transition to the final round of breakout sessions (7:35- 8)(student choice). Then we will have closing ceremonies to end the night(8:10- 8:45).
