Blackstone Primary School - Excellence in Education

A Message from the Principal...

Welcome to Blackstone Primary School! I am Ruth Ann Horn, the Principal of this school. The staff continues to focus on all children being the “BEST” students that they can become. We utilize many different instructional strategies to focus on raising student achievement. Our concentration is on the reading skills because reading is the key to being successful in all subjects. We try to build good citizenship through our character education program. We want to have well-rounded students who want to contribute to the community.

March
The next time you stop at an ATM to fetch some cash, say "no" to a receipt. They may be small, but with over 300,000 ATM's nationwide dispensing countless receipts daily, the little slips add up to one big pile of waste paper. Instead of requesting a paper receipt, use your bank or credit union's website to check your balance online before or after your ATM transaction.
