Robert L. Bland Middle School

Great things can happen from small ideas! We had a field trip to LCHS for all of Lewis County elementary students to watch the LCHS Marching Minutemen perform. Here is a big shout out to all those who made this possible. Thanks, Andrea Heath, for your passion to pursue your vision. It was such a needed boost for morale throughout the county for students and staff alike. A huge thanks to Allen Heath, his staff, and all band members for their outstanding halftime performance and for taking their time to introduce and explain the different instruments in turn inspiring the future band members of LCHS. Thanks to all the teachers and aides who organized and cared for their individual groups of children. Thanks to all the staff who stayed behind the scenes (cooks, custodians, office staff and teachers) that didn’t get to attend this event but made sure meals and facilities were ready for the students when they returned. Very special thanks to all the bus drivers who graciously changed or rearranged their plans on short notice to make sure we could get the wheels turning to safely transport over 1,000 passengers to and from this event. A special thanks also to John Whiston and Brian Fisher. It amazed me to see how they prepared the stadium, treated these elementary students as if they were a Friday night football crowd, and listened to how they proudly and passionately addressed all who were in attendance. Also, a shout out to the two guardian angels (Mike Cayton & Charlie Kirkpatrick) standing above the crowd keeping a watchful eye over us all. Last but not least, a special thanks to Dr. Lewis for not just approving this but trusting each one of us to do our part in pulling it off. We are all just one piece of a huge puzzle, but when we are all joined together we make a beautiful picture. Sincerely, Gerry Paugh

Robert L. Bland Middle School From Mrs. Barnette Last week our 7th Grade Social Studies students studied and practiced Cuneiform, the first written language system in World History.

Students in Mrs. Jack's 7th Grade Science class submitted their Leaf Book Projects today. Students enjoyed collecting and identifying leaves. They did an amazing job!

Join the Fun This Weekend! October 16th

Friday, October 15 is a schedule professional learning day for teachers. Students will not be in school on that day.

At 2:15 today, we were forced to close the 8th grade boys bathroom due to damage done by the 7th/8th grade boys. There are urinals that are broken and cannot flush. Someone chose to rip off the trash bag and use the urinal. Hopefully the bathroom will be up and operational by morning.

Bus 2-16 will not run tomorrow. Please remember if you bring your child to school, you will also need to pick them up. If you are unable to transport, the day will not be counted against your child. Just send a note when they return.

Lewis County Blueprint Communities is hosting a Fun Run. See Flyers for more information.

It’s beginning to look like Autumn at the Lewis County Board of Education!
