Wheels down @BlairAcademy_NJ The school has kept its spirit the last 30+ years since graduation and 5 I’ve been volunteering. Blair gives 360 degree support to students leading to only 1-2% leaving each year less than 1/3rd other schools. Fun catching @BlairAcademyMBB game 86-60 over College Achieve! Beat @LvilleSchool Lawrenceville this afternoon! Buc ‘Em Up!
