We hope you are having a good spring break. It has been encouraging to see the Blue Ridge community pull together to support each other! Remember: the governor extended school closures through Tuesday, April 7, with school resuming on April 8. It is, however, possible that the school closure will be extended further. We will continue to use the remote learning systems used before spring break. Food deliveries will resume this Monday from 8-10 a.m. and continue on week days during the closure. Home deliveries can be arranged if needed. Call if you have a need - we are here to help! Have a good weekend!
