Dear Blackwell Families,

We’ve loved welcoming our Kindergarten Bobcats to school this week! Over the past few days, all of our students have enjoyed reading Finding Muchness and setting goals for a successful year ahead. At Blackwell, every Bobcat belongs, believes in themselves and others, and works to achieve their fullest potential. We’re excited for what is sure to be a fantastic year!

Have a wonderful weekend!
Stephanie Fry and Julie Shapiro

Electric Bikes, Scooters and Skateboards

This applies to students, as well as to family members and friends who may be picking up or dropping off students at school.
