Your source for all things Blue Lake School for the Month of March!
HELP US BUILD BETTER
ATTENDANCE HABITS!
Did you know that too many absences can cause
children to fall behind in school? Studies have
shown that missing just 10% of school days is
directly linked to difficulty reading. Attending
school helps children feel better about school and
about themselves! You can help by doing your best
to get your student to class on time every day: by
setting a regular bedtime, preparing for the
morning the night before, and making sure that
your student only stays home if they are really and
truly sick. Blue Lake School would like to
increase our attendance rates next year.
Please help us meet this goal!

The season of Spring begins for the Northern
Hemisphere on March 20th. When it is Spring here,
it’s Fall in the Southern Hemisphere! The season
of Spring begins when the Earth’s axis is not tilted
toward or away from the sun, and the sun rises just
above the Earth’s equator. The first day of Spring
is called the Vernal Equinox, and on this day
sunrise and sunset are about 12 hours apart.
Look for sunshine, new flowers, green leaves and
grass in this season of renewal!
