BES Students are Ready! School starts Wednesday…
Meet the teacher, classroom meetings, school supplies and more…
Blaine Elementary students were able to meet their teachers, visit their classrooms and snag some school supplies Friday afternoon at the annual Readyfest.
A large crowd of students along with their parents/guardians visited the classrooms and met with their teacher who went over basic classroom procedures, communication methods, attendance policies, testing standards and much more.
“Communication is the first big one,” said first grade teacher Sarah Arrington who has been at the school for seven years. “Email, a note, phone call…all are ways you can get in touch with me about your child should you have any concerns. Don’t hesitate to contact me whenever you need to.”
After classroom meetings attendees were permitted to enter the gym where a variety of businesses and organizations were stationed to hand out various school supplies, all free of charge. Tickets were handed out to both adults and students for door prizes while games such as ring toss were set up to keep students entertained. Cains Creek Church handed out snacks and refreshments.
Businesses/organizations that participated in the event which is hosted by Blaine Elementary Family Resource Center include: Food City, Pathways, Grayson RECC, Blaine PTO, Wal-mart, Smile Savers, Cash Express, Lawrence County Public Library, Northeast Community Action, US Army Corp of Engineers, Kentucky Community of Sharing, Home Place Clinic, Appalachian Wireless, Foothills, Kentucky Home Place, Three Rivers Medical Center and JJ Jordan Geriatric Center.
School begins for Lawrence County on Wednesday, August 5th.
