All Sixth grade students attended HERO- The Boy from Troy at the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, Indiana. The play focused on the life and legacy of John Lewis. Lewis stood up for civil rights and eventually became a congressman to carry out his ideas.
"From an early age, John wanted to save things, and that included the chickens on his family's farm. It was neat to see how this carried on in his political career," Jack Taylor said.
Draven Smith learned that the actors were from New York City and have been working on the production since early December. The performers kept the students engaged throughout the performance.

Fifth grade student, Charlie Mathews, pictured on the left, is the winner of the Blair Pointe Upper Elementary Spelling Bee.

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.

This week students at Blair Pointe are beginning to work with their Buddy Class.
Research shows that "Buddy Class" activities can be a great way to foster friendships, improve social skills, and engage students in learning.
Mrs. Shine Hall, counselor, said, " Our goal is for students make connections throughout our entire building and have fun while doing it!"
August's activity was for each student to introduce themselves to each other with lots of fun "Would You Rather" questions. Then they worked to complete an "All About Blair Pointe" crossword puzzle.
Students are excited to see what they will be doing in September.
