One. Week. Away.
We are so excited to celebrate with you! 🥳
Here’s some things you need to know:
Our event will be held behind Blue Ridge Elementary on the blacktop. Weather looks perfect as of now! 🙏🏽
There will be two entrances—to the East of the building (right side) and behind the gym/New Trails.

🚙 Parking 🚙
There will be parking spots available behind New Trails in the parking lot and in front of Blue Ridge Elementary, as well as in the front of Blue Ridge Presbyterian. *Unfortunately, behind the church is not available as they are having their parking lot repaved.

⭐️ Mayor’s Proclamation ⭐️
You’ll want to come right at 6pm to hear this! 💙

💴 Purchasing Products 💴
🍨
Melt Box Ice Cream Truck will be here for you to purchase your favorite flavor or try something new! Add toppings for something even more delicious! You will not be disappointed!
💿
We will also be having a presale on CDs that will showcase our very own Blue Ridge school song and a handful of others. You will get a sneak peek of a few of those songs at the celebration. You will also get to vote on your favorite CD cover to help us decide on a winner.
👕
Our PTO will be having a presale on Blue Ridge shirts. Come to their table to check it out!

🎨 Face Painting 🎨
Our very own counselor, Ms. Mings, artist extraordinaire, will have a station where you can come get into the celebration spirit and have your cheek or hand painted.
There will also be games on the blacktop for kids (and adults) to play.

🏫 Building Tours 🏫
Has been a minute since you’ve step foot into your amazing elementary school? Tour guides will be ready to show you around. It will be fun comparing then and now as we walk.

🕰️ Memorabilia Timeline 🕰️
Come to the gym to reminisce on all the memories you will have when you look at pictures and yearbooks and such.

📔 Scrapbook 📔
Don’t leave the event without signing our scrapbook. Write a memory about Blue Ridge and sign your name with the years you were here.

🎤 Sharing Stories 🎤
Have a memory you want to share publicly? We are hoping there is time towards the end of our evening together for you to do just that. Come up on stage and share away!

And, of course, there will be lots of photo opportunities to capture the moments that will be shared right here on this page!

Hope you are just as excited to celebrate with us! See you soon! 💙

We are about three weeks out from our celebration, and we couldn’t be more excited to share this event with you! Share with your former Blue Ridge classmates, students, families and staff from 1948-2023.
More details still to come! 💙

We hope to see you tonight at 6 in the library!! 💙
