bluegrasses.knoxschools.org.... Up and running

KidVote

The Kidvote campaign will begin this week, Monday, September 22nd. The kids will begin to see "presidential moments" on the morning announcements. They will also get to view a hilarious skit about two political parties. One party is the Pool Party, and the other party is the Rubber Chicken Party. The purpose of the play is to present the idea of political diversity and accepting other people's view as different, not bad.

The contests are coming!

Watch for information about PTA contests in your child's backpack.

Plan now for fall enrichment classes!

Fall enrichment classes will begin the last week in October. Parents, if you have a talent or hobby you'd like to share by teaching an enrichment class, please pick up a form in the office. Contact Carol Wehinger at 690-0713 or Kim Gaston at 951-2607 with questions about the enrichment program.

Karen Carson to speak at October PTA meeting

Mark your calendar for the October 13 PTA meeting. Karen Carson, chairwoman of the Knox County School Board, will be speaking.

Eat at Firehouse Subs to support Blue Grass!

Visit the North Peters Road or West Hills locations of Firehouse Subs any time in September and they'll donate 10% of your total bill (minus tax) to Blue Grass School! Be sure to present your community commitment card, which was attached to the Firehouse Subs flyer sent home in your child's backpack.
