Dear Blackwell Families,

 

What an amazing week at Blackwell! First, a huge shout-out to our students for successfully wrapping up IAR testing. Their perseverance was inspiring, and they’ve earned a big round of applause for their hard work.

 

We’ve also been soaking up the joy of Happiness Month, which was made even brighter by our spectacular Art Show and Musical Performances. We are so proud of every student who shared their creative spirit and talent with us this week. Thank you to all the families who joined us to cheer on our young artists and musicians!

 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Stephanie Fry and Julie Shapiro

Seeking Volunteers for PTA Leadership 

Schools thrive when parents step up.

Then you’re already qualified.

 

Leadership isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about caring enough to ask the right questions and bring people together to find solutions.

 

Running for PTA Leadership is one of the most rewarding ways to serve your school community.

 

You are not doing it alone — you have a board, committees, the council, and district resources to support you every step of the way.

 

And you might just surprise yourself with what you’re capable of. P
