The +10 Mindset - Finding your "Kick"

Congrats to Jared Stroman, Nolan Henderson,
Coach Greg Morrison, Ellery Martin, and
Shelby Gerner for advancing to the state
tournament in tennis.

The final month of school is here.  The finish line is in sight, and the final push is here.  In track terms this is where runners must find their "kick" or last bit of energy to run faster and harder in order to ensure a win in the race.

In May it is very easy to look forward to summer and slow down the pace as we move closer to the end of school, but that is not what the best schools do.  In fact they do the exact opposite.  They push harder.  They run faster, and they study harder in order to ensure that they reach their goal, Excellence in Every Student.

This month, we will be pushing hard to reach our goals in academics, athletics, and attendance, but we will also be celebrating even harder.  If you look at the calendar for each campus, you will see lots of assemblies, banquets, and trips.  At Blue Ridge ISD we will be kicking it into high gear as we run faster and harder to the finish line.  I hope you will join us.




End of Year Teacher Appreciation

Congrats to Nolan Henderson for making the finals at
EarthXFilm Festival

On the last day of school, we will continue our tradition of thanking our employees for their hard work this year.  The board of trustees will be providing us with a fantastic lunch, and we will be thanking our teachers and staff in grand style.  Below is a list of businesses and individuals who have donated prizes to reward our teachers and staff for their hard work this year.  If you would like to be a part of group of donors, please contact Shawn Harris at 972-752-5554.
