Dear Blanket ISD Community,
After consulting with the local fire department regarding weather conditions at the scheduled time of our Homecoming bonfire, we have made the difficult decision to not light tonight’s bonfire.
Based on current conditions, lighting the bonfire presents a significant risk of starting a wildfire and could put members of our community, neighboring properties, surrounding land, and first responders at risk. While we understand how much this tradition means to our students, families, and alumni, the safety of our community is our priority.
We are still excited to celebrate Homecoming together! Tonight’s pep rally will be moved to the Blanket ISD Gymnasium and will begin at 7:00 p.m. We look forward to celebrating our students and the Blanket Tigers.
We are also working to identify a future date when we can safely hold the bonfire lighting and continue this tradition. We will share those details with the community as soon as they are finalized.
Thank you for your understanding, support in helping keep our community safe. We look forward to seeing everyone in the gym tonight.
Go Tigers!
Nathan Moye
Superintendent
