Blacklock Blast – May 12, 2023

May 12, 2023

Good afternoon families:

Every day I am proud to be the Principal of Blacklock Fine Arts School! Today I am exceptionally proud because our school raised $6694.20 at the book fair of which approximately 50% comes back to the school to purchase books! Thank you too Mrs. Huang, Mrs. Mclean, and all the staff that helped make this event a huge success!

This past week we started the grade 5 transition to HD Stafford. Staff at Stafford were very impressed by our students, and they look forward to welcoming them as the new Sky Hawks for the 2023-2024 school year. Our grade 5 leaving ceremony will be held on Thursday, June 22nd at 6pm in the gym.

Our gardens are in need of some beautification! If you are interested in helping us with this, please email me at seppich@sd35.bc.ca

The big box of cards fundraiser was a huge success, and the PAC was able to raise over $3000 for the school. There was a draw for 5 prizes and the winning students were thrilled! Thank you to the families that appreciated in this fundraiser!

Have a great weekend!
Susanna Eppich, Principal
