Congratulations to the following classes for winning an attendance trophy by having the highest attendance for their grade level in the month of August 2026:

As you are aware, daily attendance plays an important part in the success of each student as well as the school. I have included the totals for Blossomwood for the month of August 2026. It is easy to see that the amount of instructional time lost accumulates quickly. Please help us by ensuring that your child is at school every day unless they are sick.

* Reminder: A student is counted absent is he/she checks out prior to 11:30 am.

Last week, our second graders visited Stovehouse for a special kickoff event focusing on "The Next Great Americans" and developing "Super Citizens!" The event and program is part of the efforts of the Liberty Learning Foundation which you may have also heard it referred to as Liberty's Learning. Over the coming weeks, second graders will learn more about gratitude, collaboration, public speaking and self confidence.

Liberty Learning Foundation is a non-profit organization facilitating active civics and character programs in K-12 classrooms and orchestrating immersive events that empower schools, parents, local leaders, and businesses to take ownership of the future of the community and country.

September is Attendance Awareness Month, a time to highlight the powerful impact that consistent attendance has on student success. Every day matters, and when students are present, they are learning, growing, and building habits that prepare them for the future.

To celebrate and emphasize the importance of being here every day, we are hosting a 100% Attendance Day on September 30. Our goal is for every student, teacher, and staff member to be present that day. Together, we can show our students that attendance is not just their responsibility—it’s something we model and value as a school community.

Let’s join together to make this day a strong reminder that Here Today means Succeed Tomorrow. Thank you for your commitment to fostering a culture of presence, responsibility, and success at our school.

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.
