Blackwell Elementary

Though it was a shorter week, it was filled with enthusiasm, learning, and strong community connections! We wrapped up our half day today with a fantastic House meeting. Our Dreamers, Creators, and Bestowers came together across grade levels to spend quality time connecting, sharing laughs, and building relationships with their housemates. Watching our Bobcats connect with each other is always a powerful reminder of what makes Blackwell so special, a place where every child truly feels a sense of belonging.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Dress for the Weather & Label Your Child's Gear

Now that the cooler temps are officially here, we thank you for labeling your child’s cold weather gear so we can get it back to them quickly if it is lost and found.

Our lost and found is overflowing with sweatshirts, water bottles and other miscellaneous items. If your child is missing something, ask them to check out the lost and found bin soon.
