Dear Blach families,
On behalf of the staff at Blach Intermediate School, I warmly welcome you to the new school year! Whether you are a new Blach Falcon or a returning Falcon family, we are so excited that you will be a part of our community this year!
I am privileged and honored to serve as your new Principal this year. During my professional career spanning over two decades, I have held the positions of a teacher’s aide, teacher, middle school vice principal, professional development provider, college lecturer and district office administrator and worked with students ranging from 3 years to graduate school! My educational background includes graduate degrees in Child Development and Counseling. I am passionate about working with middle school students (and their unique sense of humor brings the added joy to my work!). These years are critical in a child’s growth and development. This is a time when ‘who they are becoming’ is as important as ‘what they are learning’. I love being a part of this journey with them together with you! Central to my work as a middle school leader is also my empathetic perspective as a parent of two- a high school junior and a 4th grader. I walk in your shoes as a parent everyday! I also walk the fine line between watching my children fall and rise on their own with mine and my husband’s support to struggling with my parental instinct to not let them fall at all!
This growth mindset based approach to parenting also forms the core of my educational philosophy. It is my mission to inspire, support and propel our students to achieve their potential and believe in their ability to deal with the stumbling blocks with confidence! This can only happen in an environment, which is safe and supportive.
We, at Blach, are committed to providing an environment where our students deeply engage in meaningful learning in a school climate that is accepting, caring and safe. We, at Blach, are committed to creating and sustaining an innovative learning environment where both students and adults model challenging themselves to seek new and unique learning experiences. We, at Blach, are committed to empowering student voice. We, at Blach, are committed to building a culture of trust where every community member feels welcome and valued.
As your Principal, my door is always open for you. We are your partners in your child’s education! Please do not hesitate to contact me with all your questions, concerns and ideas. We are here to support you and your child!
With much gratitude,
Bhavna
Bhavna Narula, Principal and a Proud Blach Falcon!

Good Morning 8th Graders!
The 8th Grade Party is THIS Friday!
What are you going to wear?
Guys; a collared shirt and nice shorts or pants would be a good choice.
Girls; a dress, skirt that you can move in will be perfect for the party!
There will be a coat check there if you decide you want to stash your shoes or phone somewhere safe.
There will be games, free food, prizes and so much more!

Today is THE GARBAGE BAG FASHION SHOW and it is PJ Day. All participants should have their costumes ready by lunchtime. One person from each homeroom will be the “presenter” while the other wears the costume. Heads up: tomorrow is Formal Day.
The School Supply Drive was an amazing success! We have collected boxes and boxes of supplies that will soon be shipped to Africa. It was a close competition between several homerooms, but the winning homeroom is Mrs. Honigman's class. Thanks again to all the teachers and students that made this possible.
