EXCITING NEWS!
Blacksburg Elementary is participating in Kinsa’s FLUency™ school health program. Ms. Clyde has a limited number of free smart thermometers, so please reach out to her at laura.clyde@cherokee1.org to request one for your family!
Students should not have trading cards, games, toys, etc. out in the cafeteria, hallways, or gym in the mornings, during instructional time, or at dismissal. If students bring personal items to school, they are their responsibility. If having them causes a disturbance, they will be asked to keep them at home. Please remind your student(s) to keep these items up and out of sight until recess.

With less than 40 hours until our trip to Nashville to compete against students all across the nation we want to thank everyone who has ever supported and believed in us. If this year hasn’t been a testament that you can do anything if you try then I don’t know what has. We want to also think the school district and businesses that have funded all of our adventures towards helping Cherokee County be the healthiest it can be!
