ARCHAEOLOGICAL DIG

In October, the 6th grade students participated in an archaeological dig!

This program piques students’ interest in archaeology and provides

foundational understanding for how we have come to learn what we know about ancient culture as well as our

own history as well.

Drop your Badge for Enrichment Grants Give Blanchard Students direct support by dropping your badge in one of our designated bins. You can give $25, $50, $100, or $250. Drop Your Badge provides outright contributions to Blanchard PTF’s strong enrichment grant program, and will support wonderful programs like Library Enrichment, Yoga and Creative Movement Sessions and more! So Drop Your Badge and make a difference in your child’s learning! The PTF supported a

student body of over 500 in the 2017-2018 year.

Grants funding is core to the PTF’s enrichment mission. Their impact touches every Blanchard student.
