Week of October 1

The +10 Mindset - October is Here

September was a fantastic month, and we enjoyed a great first full month of school.  Now that October is here, there are so many events coming up this month, and one of the last events of October will be the Blue Ridge Fall Festival on Saturday, October 27.  I hope you will come out to this event that celebrates everything in Blue Ridge.  This includes Blue Ridge ISD, City of Blue Ridge, Blue Ridge Chamber of Commerce, BRASA and so many more groups and organizations.  We hope you will come out and join us.


Register to Vote
The last day to register to vote is October 9, 2018.  Registration forms from your county elections office and we have voter registration cards at the BRISD Administration Office.  

Election day is Tuesday, November 6, 2018



Facility Survey & Long-Range Facility Planning
Congrats to Mr. Wink’s Elementary Student Leader of
the Week, Kaedyn Garza!
Committee

We are beginning the process of looking at next steps for the future of our facilities.  To expedite that process, I am inviting you to complete THIS SURVEY to get your input.  We would greatly appreciate you for taking the time to give us your thoughts.

The district has assembled a Long-Range Facility Planning Committee and all members of the Blue Ridge ISD community are invited to participate.  The committee will meet on Thursday, October 4 at 6 p.m. at the BRISD Administration Building.





Fall Food Pantry Food Drive
One of the great things about Blue Ridge ISD is that we help one another.  We have a Clothes Closet that provides our students with clothes, and we have a Food Pantry that provides deserving families with food.  Both of these initiatives are led by Carolyn Wink, and during the month of October, we will be having a Food Drive competition where we are seeking to stock the food pantry with foods listed in the image to your right.

This is also a competition.  We will be rewarding the grade levels at each campus who donate the most food, and the winning grade levels will be treated to an ice cream party for their hard work.  We are so blessed to live in a such a wonderful community as Blue Ridge.  I hope you will join in as we work together to make it a wonderful place for students and families who need our help.
