Blackburn Elementary School

Linda M.: All five of my kids attended Blackburn. It was a terrific school with many great, caring teachers. There were a lot of grade level traditions - like the 2nd grade luau and 3rd grade Thanksgiving feast. The PTA also provided monthly evening activities that always made for a fun family nite out. We love Blackburn!
