Thank you to all of our families who have supported our fundraisers to purchase this amazing new piece of equipment at Blackstone. Our students are loving this addition to our playground!





Today is National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. Thank you to the Mendota Police Department for all you do for our community. Mrs. O'Sadnick's students made thank you cards for the MPD. In addition, they are providing them a soup lunch today because we think they are "SOUP-er!"


Congratulations to our December principal award winners. They enjoyed a pizza lunch today to celebrate!
