Every Student Every Day
Welcome to H.G. Blake Elementary School!
We are so proud that you have entrusted your child to us, and we promise to do our best to provide the best education possible. When we reflect on last year’s accomplishments, we realize the academic successes of our students, with the support of our teachers and staff, have put H.G. Blake on a path toward greatness.
This year we will be continuing with the 3 R's. Bee Ready! Bee Respectful! Bee Responsible! Bee a Leader! Our dedicated staff will teach them to find the leader in themselves and take responsibility for their own learning and their actions. Students will be encouraged to find their “spark” - their true talents and strengths. We know we cannot do this alone, however. Together we form a strong partnership to ensure that all H.G. Blake students receive an exceptional education.
I encourage you to be an active participant in your child’s education. We invite you to attend monthly PTO meetings, volunteer in classrooms, attend school events, or just stay current by visiting our website regularly and reading monthly newsletters. Together, we can make this a successful year of learning for your child.
Sincerely,
Eldora Lavdas, Principal
