From the Principal's Desk
Dear Blossom Hill Families:
I am thinking about you every day, miss you tremendously, and hope for your continued well-being during these unprecedented times.
I would like to share with you that our teachers, support staff, and administrative team continue to plan and collaborate daily to ensure that the connection between our students and teachers is strongly maintained ~ while keeping in mind that each household is impacted in different ways.
On
April 6
, Spring Break will be upon us. This District is being consistent with the school calendar and everyone is encouraged to disconnect from Remote Learning and enjoy the break with their families without academic expectations and away from screens. The District Remote Learning Site will post Remote Learning Offline Activities on
Friday, April 3
.
Please be on the lookout for information from Team LGUSD, including Superintendent Johnson, your child’s teacher, and myself when we return.
Wishing you and your family health, wellness, and happiness,
Lisa Reynolds, Principal
Meals offered over Spring Break

Weekly Wisdom
Reynolds's Roundup
During our school closure, we will be creating a "Reynolds's Roundup" each week where students and families can submit a fun activity following a weekly theme that they have done at home to bust boredom and would like to share. This is absolutely optional and is intended to be student-focused with a projected outcome of spreading some joy while we shelter in place. We discourage anything that involves any physical contact with people outside your family group. We will choose a couple of our favorites each week to feature in the Beehive.
Week #1 theme is
"Keeping as fit as can BEE."
Please send a short video, photos, files, etc. of inspiring ways you are staying fit to
[email protected]
by
April 10
.
