Welcome Blakely Bulldogs, My name is Reese Ande and I am the principal at Blakely Elementary. It is my profound privilege to live in this community and work with the wonderful staff, students and families. I am a long time Bainbridge Island resident and truly believe we have the best schools and community. My life has been dedicated to education, but in my spare time, I enjoy fishing, hunting, skiing or anything in the outdoors. I believe that in order to have balance in your life playing as hard as you work is a necessity. Go Bulldogs!
