Bluff School Reading Challenge
Question: What would it take for Principal Baker to kiss a pig on Family Literacy Night May 12th?
Answer: A reading challenge!
The Bluff students are challenged to read a total of 60,000 minutes from Monday, April 11th - Thursday, May 12th. Each week students are asked to turn in their reading log and the total hours are tracked and posted on the wall meter outside of Principal Baker's office. So, if you want to see her kiss a pig, get busy reading, turn in the minutes and come out Thursday, May 12th to "Down on The Bluff Farm" from 5-7pm to watch her kiss a pig.
What a great turnout for Walk Your Child to Class Day! It was wonderful to have so many families enter Bluff Elementary School to see their child(ren)'s classrooms for the first time this year.
It was also nice to meet and greet several families in the gym for coffee and a light breakfast after their classroom visit. Thank you all for coming!
-Principal Baker

Please join us on Sunday, December 5th from 10 am -4 pm at the Claremont Middle School for a COVID-19 vaccination clinic.
The clinic on December 5th, will be offering the following vaccination series:
Pediatric Doses for Ages 5 – 11: Pfizer (2-doses) (COVID-19 Vaccines for Children and Teens | CDC)
Primary Doses for Ages 12 – 17: Pfizer (2-doses) (COVID-19 Vaccines for Children and Teens | CDC)
Primary Doses for Ages 18+: Pfizer (2-doses), Moderna (2-doses), and J&J (1-dose) (Your COVID-19 Vaccination | CDC
3rd Doses for Pfizer and Moderna (these are indicated for persons who are moderately to severely immunocompromised (COVID-19 Vaccines for Moderately to Severely Immunocompromised People | CDC)
Booster Doses for Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J (Who Is Eligible for a COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Shot? | CDC; CDC Expands Eligibility for COVID-19 Booster Shots | CDC Online Newsroom | CDC)
Additionally, the mobile vaccination providers will be able to accommodate requests for heterologous dosing – persons eligible for boosting can choose which COVID-19 vaccine product they receive as a booster regardless of the vaccine product received for their primary series.
Most importantly, we think the most important message is for individuals to come and talk with our providers about whether a booster is right for them if they are unsure. Our providers are happy to educate anyone who would like additional information.
Bluff is busily preparing for its annual Thanksgiving feast on Tuesday, November 23, 2021. Classroom teachers recently sent a request to families for donations. We are accepting donations until Friday, November 19, 2021.
