Tuesday was our 101st day of school. How else would first grade celebrate? A couple of Cruellas and their pups!
Here is our latest broadcast! This episode includes Katelynn Phelps on Teacher Feature and our newest, Mrs. Withrow!

Our 7th graders are studying the Federal Constitution in Mrs. Benson's Social Studies class. In ELA, they were offered the Preamble Challenge. This young lady is the first one to accept and successfully complete the challenge. She recited the Preamble with ease!
If you have a student who will be eligible for kindergarten next school year who is NOT currently in the Bluford Pre-K program, please call the grade school office at 732-8242 to be added to the screening list. With COVID, our Pre-K numbers are lower than normal, so we are hoping that there are some more kindergarten students out there. Students will need to turn 5 before September 1, to be KG. eligible.
With some recent shifts in the weather forecast, school will be dismissing at 1:00. All PM activities will be cancelled.
Part of our multisensory approach to reading instruction includes using sand to draw letters while students verbalize the sounds. Here, second grade students are progressing through the day's sequence.
Just hanging out waiting for the kids to come back Monday. I tried, but I can't convince this guy that it's not that cold out here.
Thanks to some excess Title money, we have been able to further update classroom instructional technology. The 65" LED displays are much easier for students to see and using an iPad as a mobile interactive board means the teacher can instruct from anywhere in the room.
Saturday is the day! Ruritan Club breakfast is back after taking off a couple of months. Join us in supporting a group that does so much for the community and school.
A new art sculpture adorns the front foyer!
2nd grade is practicing their red words this afternoon.
Special thanks to the Bluford Retired Teachers for the 24 books donated to the 4th Grade in memory of Donna Miller.
Donna Miller served BGS for 40 years as a teacher. She passed away in mid-December. The fourth grade class created an art exhibit in her honor. In addition to that, memorial money was donated to purchase books for the BGS library. Her legacy will live on at BGS.
Reminder: School dismisses at 11:30 tomorrow (Friday, January 15) and there is no school on Monday, January 18.
Child find screenings will be taking place across the Jefferson County region beginning in February. Our scheduled screening date in Bluford is February 23 from 8:30-11:30 at the First Baptist Church. Appointments will be set up for children in the 2.6-5 age group and can set up by calling the school at 618-732-8242.
The broadcasting crew is happy to share their first show of the new year. This episode includes another Basketball Basics segment, some student interviews, and Mr. Shelby on Teacher Feature. You will not be disappointed!
