🎬 BUILDINGS WITH BLANCHARD: Yesterday, we visited Eagle View Middle School's 7th-grade FCS class for a delicious breakfast lab. 🍳

Students in Ms. Morret’s class tested their breakfast-making skills by preparing a “Jiffy Breakfast” (egg in a mug) in the microwave while learning kitchen safety and sanitation. They demonstrated key POE skills, including communication and collaboration, as well as responsibility through the safe handling of ingredients, proper use of equipment, and maintaining a clean workspace.

Superintendent Blanchard joined the class and cooked alongside students, making his own Jiffy Breakfast. The class wrapped up by enjoying breakfast together and reflecting on the cooking process.

❤ WHERE HEART TAKES FLIGHT: Our athletes brought the true Portrait of an Eagle to life at Chapman Field last Friday during our 4th annual Special Olympics, showcasing confidence, communication, and unstoppable determination. From start to finish, they competed with heart, lifted each other up, and showed us all what it means to be champions.

This event is about more than competition. It is about connection, growth, and believing in every ability.

A huge thank you to our students, staff, and community members who generously give their time to make moments like this possible. Because of you, our Eagles continue to soar. 🦅

Special shoutout to the Cumberland Valley Eagle Foundation for donating t-shirts to our student-athletes and support staff. We are so grateful for your generosity and continued support!
