Over the years, Maleigha has volunteered for numerous school events, decorated bulletin boards, and organized Earth Day activities that included cleaning up the trail, planting trees, and leading grade-level activities. She was also a member of Key Club and Chorus. Maleigha continues to give back to both her community and Blue Ridge, and we are so proud of her accomplishments.
Thank you to everyone who supported our $1 days and helped make this scholarship possible for our former students! We hope our current students will reflect on how they can make a positive impact in their community and one day apply for this scholarship as seniors themselves.
K–2 students will have:
-Water Day: 9:30–11:30
-Field Day: 1:00–3:00
3rd–5th grade students will have:
-Field Day: 9:30–11:30
-Water Day: 1:00–3:00
Please remember to pack:
• A towel and change of clothes for Water Day
• A water bottle and sneakers for Field Day
If you were planning on volunteering for Water Day yesterday, please still feel free to join us! There will be a sign-in table located outside the Primary playground for volunteers to check in.
See you soon!
We have been closely monitoring the weather, and although there is currently a lull in the rain, more severe weather is expected later today. While rain itself is not an issue—many of us enjoy playing in it—the forecast includes thunder and lightning, which creates an unsafe environment for our students and staff.
Because of this, we have decided to pivot our plans and cancel today’s activities, moving everything to tomorrow instead. We have already contacted the fire department, and they have confirmed they will join us tomorrow.
We understand this change may be disappointing, but the safety of our students and staff must always come first. With lightning in the area, it is simply not safe to be outdoors.
We look forward to welcoming our chaperones tomorrow. If you are unable to help due to the schedule change, please do not worry—we will still have plenty of support.
Thank you for your flexibility and understanding as we work to keep everyone safe while still providing a fun experience. We will send out an updated schedule shortly.
See you tomorrow!
We are disappointed to see the stormy weather impacting our plans today. At this time, we are unable to move forward with Water Day activities outdoors.
We will continue to monitor the weather closely and have an alternate plan in place for tomorrow if today is ultimately a wash. While we recognize that tomorrow is also scheduled as Field Day, we are hopeful that—should the weather cooperate—we can successfully manage both events in one day if necessary.
For now, we ask that parents do not come in to chaperone until further communication is shared. We will keep you updated as decisions are made.
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility.
Sincerely,
Ms. Terry
BRC Families: Our Attendance Carnival was an unforgettable day filled with games, prizes, laughter, and fun for our students! Students earned tickets by coming to school each day, and this was their chance to roam around with friends and spend their tickets on carnival games, farm animals, the dunk tank, face painting, and giant inflatable activities. There was excitement everywhere you looked!
We are so thankful for the staff, volunteers, and community partners who helped make this attendance celebration such a huge success for our students.
Stay tuned for another post soon — we have even more pictures to share!
