Find Your Family Fun!

By Shannon O'Donnell November 8, 2023

It's Thursday, but today has been anything but happy for our community. Sadly, many Blacksburg families are grieving, feeling helpless and sad. Macaroni KID NRV has created an article on How to Support Your Children Through Tragedy. We are all hurting today and Macaroni KID NRV is sending love to families, friends, students at BHS/BMS, staff & community members. There will be a special moment of silence tomorrow morning at BHS Flag Pole at 7:45 AM. You can also participate from home if you are unable to join.
