Join us for crafts, music, games, cookies, and punch! Enjoy the winter dioramas made by our students. What a great way to spend your evening on December 4th from 5:30-6:30. The band and choir concert will follow at 6:30 showcasing our students from all grade levels.

School counselor, Mrs. Shine Hall, heads up the week long food drive and she gets excited to see how much the students bring in each year.
She said, "Many families enjoy giving back to our community and December is a great time to do that.  Our annual Food Drive will be held the first full week of December.  We hope to push as many items as we can to our local food bank at the Salvation Army.  Monetary donations will be shared between Miami County Helping Hands and The United Way.  Classrooms will be offered incentives for bringing in items if they can.  Some incentives let them enjoy an extra recess or even a popcorn party as a treat!"

Blair Pointe PTO is active all year long, but at this time of year, they seem to bring lots of fun to the school! Blair Pointe staff and students are lucky to have such an active group to help our school. David Weeks, teacher, said, "The activities that PTO hosts raises funds to help the staff and students. Without their support, we would be missing out."
In the past, PTO has provided free popcorn days, ice cream sundaes, treats to spoil the staff during appreciation weeks. The list goes on.

Terry Wray, PCS Maintenance Department, was recognized Wednesday at Blair Pointe for his years of service. Wray worked part time from 2010-2014 and when he retired from the Peru Fire Department, he came on full-time.

Wray said the thought of retirement is all new to him, but he is looking forward to the the peace and quiet the most. 

His favorite part of the day and what he will miss the most is seeing the staff and students every day. 

PCS is going to miss Wray, but wish him nothing but the best in his retirement.

Student Resource Officer, Steve Hoover, heads up the Safety Patrol at Blair Pointe. Students in 6th grade are selected by their 5th grade teacher for this opportunity.
Patrol watches for student behavior and helps visitors find their way if needed. By doing this, students learn they need to do the right thing.
Jasmine Wohlford, afternoon patrol, said, "I have wanted to be a patrol officer since I started at Blair Pointe in third grade. I like that we get to do new things."
Patrol will begin their positions on September 2.
