Dear Families: Get ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way (YAY!). Choosing their own books empowers kids and inspires them on their journey to becoming lifelong readers. AND—as always—every purchase at the Fair benefits our school. Here’s what you need to know about the big event, which will take place: Say goodbye to cash and hello to eWallet—your child’s digital payment account. Before the Fair, set up eWallet for worry-free, cash-free purchases. Anyone can contribute! Share each child’s eWallet so friends and family can add funds and give your kids more books to enjoy. If you can’t make it to the Fair, then shop at our school’s Book Fair online. All orders ship directly to your home, and shipping is free for book orders over $25. Every online purchase will also benefit our school. Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping: The countdown to more Bookjoy is on! Catch you at the Fair! Happy reading, Christine Baker, Principal

Dear Bluff Families, It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the following updates in regards to the Thanksgiving Feast at Bluff School. We are unable at this time to have our traditional Thanksgiving meal where staff and children participate in the cooking due to food service regulations. All children will be served a Thanksgiving meal on Tuesday November 21 by Fresh Picks. With that being said, we are also unable to have any dessert in the classrooms. We are unable to accept any outside family donations of food. Sincerely, Thanksgiving Committee

BLUFF BULLETIN CORRECTION: The flu clinic for students is actually tomorrow, 11/15/23. Students can bring the forms in on this day as well. Thanks!
