MESSAGES FROM THE BLACKLOCK PACHello Blacklock families!
We have some gaming funds we have to use up and we’d like to put them toward improving the school grounds. Please use the link to our anonymous poll below so we have a better idea of what our school community would love to see most and come join us at our next PAC meeting on Feb 28 at 6:30pm in the school library for more info! You can also vote in person at the school via the blue box in the foyer. Voting will close March 5.
