Welcome Back to MBE!
Welcome Back to Mary Blount. We hope you and your family have enjoyed a restful summer break. We appreciate our families at MBE and know your support is vital to our success. To kickoff this year, please mark your calendars for our first “Bear Night” on Monday, August 14, at 6:00 pm. When you arrive at school, take time to visit your child’s classroom and meet his/her teacher. Then, you may proceed to the Cabin Café for pizza provided by the school and the PTO. This time will be a great opportunity to fellowship with other Mary Blount families. Please remember to bring your blankets and lawn chairs if you wish to eat on the school grounds. We are honored to serve the families of Mary Blount Elementary. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to give us a call. Looking forward to seeing you on Monday!
