The Yearbook has arrived at last! It was delayed this year due to a printer cog malfunction. We will be delivering the books this afternoon for students to sign and take home on Tuesday. This year we have a 'New Students' portraits page, if your student is a recent Blazer and cannot be found on your grade page, you will find them on the 'New Students' page. We thank you all again for your support, have a great time over summer vacation.
Please join us for breakfast tomorrow beginning at 7:45 am in the Building A cafeteria. There will be something for everyone. We will also share our Memory Jars with our colleagues who are moving on at around 8:00 am.
