Week of March 13

The +10 Mindset
Our BETA club participated in their state convention
this past week.
Our district visioning committee is composed of teachers, parents, and administrators and has been meeting this spring to create a new district mission, vision, motto, and portraits of a Blue Ridge graduate and educator. As of today, we have finalized our mission and motto as listed below.

Over the coming weeks, we will be finalizing our district vision and portraits of a Blue Ridge graduate and educator. When they have been completed, they will be shared with you.
