school a few weeks ago and now it's already over. I guess time does fly when you're having fun.
As we end another year, I'd like to personally say thank you to our parents for doing such a great job raising and supporting your children so that they can reach their full potential in school. It is you who laid the foundation for your children to achieve great things this year.
Next, I would like to thank every teacher, paraprofessional, office staff, maintenance staff, food service, bus driver, counselor, principal and central office member for your hard work. It was your team work and commitment to excellence that inspired our students to believe in themselves and reach for goals that were higher than they had ever achieved.

Finally, none of this could truly happen without our fantastic board of trustees. They have charted a course for our district to accomplish great things in such a short amount of time, and they have provided the support, the resources, and the encouragement to ensure that Blue Ridge ISD reaches its goals. We are blessed to have such a fine group of men and women who aspire for excellence in every educator and ultimately every student.
In closing, I thank you for partnering with us this year. If you have time, I encourage you to look back over my weekly posts from this year and see just how much we have accomplished. Blue Ridge is a special place. It is a district not only growing in enrollment. We are growing in our performance, our commitment and our excellence. Thank you for being a part of our team.
Blue Ridge makes UIL Track History
This year has been a banner year for UIL Track. Both the boys and girls were district runners-up and several athletes advanced to the area and regional meets. We had a record 4 students advance to the state track meet in Austin. We are excited to report that all 4 students placed at the track meet which the first time in school history that 2 or more students placed at the track meet.
Congratulations to Skylar Gerner who won the Bronze in High Jump and 6th place in Triple Jump. Marlaina Morgan placed 5th in Pole Vault, and Jacob Stroup placed 5th in the 110M Hurdles. Blue Ridge athletes were coached by Andrew Carlson and Terra Mathers. Congratulations students and coaches, and thank you for making Blue Ridge a huge success in track this year.
