Dear Blossom Hill Families:
Music is in the air at Blossom Hill! Our third, fourth, and fifth graders have been working hard in their music classes, preparing for our first live performances in almost two years. Great gratitude to Ana George, Aryn Krijnen, Alyson Ancheta, and Corey Miller for their professional guidance of our students on their musical journey. Please mark your calendars so you don't miss these fabulous concert events:
December 7th from 8:30-9am -
3rd Grade Musical "Journey Into Outer Space"
December 7th from 9:30-10am - 4th Grade Ukulele Concert
December 10th from 1:30-2:15pm -
5th Grade Strings, Orchestra, and Choral Concerts
Please note that all of our concerts will be performed in front of our school office. Parents are invited to enjoy these shows from the drive aisle on Blossom Hill which will be closed to traffic during concert times.
These concerts are made possible by your contributions to One Community LG. Thank you to the Blossom Hill Home & School Club for funding our musical software licenses and ukuleles, and to LGEF for funding our music teachers.
Yours in education,
Lisa Reynolds

Fun Fridays Needs Your Help! |
Fun Fridays is looking for more family involvement. During lunch on Fridays, parent volunteers set up, manage, and put away yard games, quieter games (like the Jumbo Memory game), and often a craft or an art-related, service opportunity.
Over dinner this week, ask your child what their favorite part of Fun Fridays is. The kids have a great time! Please sign up here to volunteer if you can. You can volunteer for just one Friday or as frequently as you would like. (Please ensure your volunteer requirements are up-to-date by completing the forms here.)
Also, please email Fun Fridays Coordinator, Amy Gregor, mom of 1st and 4th grader, if you have any gently used yard games, light weight blankets, or craft supplies for donation.
