Homecoming Cookout
Our community is simply the best! We had a terrific turnout last night at B-L Elementary School for our "Escape Room Literacy Night" and we are so grateful for the support we received from our Panther families. The evening’s events followed a mystery night theme where students and their families visited classrooms on their grade level hall to solve reading-centered mysteries. As families cracked each of the codes, they received a puzzle piece and after receiving all of the parts to the puzzle, students were given their very own mystery book to take home. Students also got to show off their artwork and browse the Book Character Pumpkin Patch in the media center.

B-L Elementary School's School Resource Officer Al Wilson is leading a new group this year that's aimed at helping students develop life skills. The group meets on Tuesdays before school, participants wear ties (hence the name Tie Tuesdays), and yesterday Officer Wilson showed them how to change the tire on a car!

Randall Price, Director of Lexington Three's Lifelong Learning Center and member of the Army Reserves, nominated Dr. Atkinson for the award.
