Dear Blackwell Families,
 
Fall is officially here, and our Blackwell students are settling beautifully into the rhythm of the school year! Today, we gathered for our October House Meeting where students had the opportunity to create a fall inspired craft. It’s always a highlight to come together, connect with our Housemates, and take part in meaningful activities that strengthen our community.
 
Have a wonderful weekend!
Stephanie Fry and Julie Shapiro
