Boulevard Principal

Dear Families:

Boulevard’s second annual Read-a-Thon begins Monday, February 26, running through Dr. Seuss’s birthday on March 2 and concluding on Monday, March 5. I would like to thank Mrs. Alison Bradford and Mrs. Jill Davies for their work in coordinating this year’s event. During last year’s inaugural Read-a-Thon, students logged an amazing number of reading hours and raised more than $6,500 for our school! Our goal is to exceed those numbers this year. Parents can help by setting aside at least 30 minutes for reading each day during the Read-a-Thon. Students may log time reading to themselves, reading to someone else or being read to. What a great opportunity to promote literacy and support our school!

Sincerely,

Neal Robinson

Each student has an online gallery with his or her art work starting with this school year until they graduate from Boulevard!

If you missed the letter that went home with directions for signing up online, please email your student's art teacher and we will send it to you! Ms. Gosses can be emailed at gosses_a@shaker.org and teaches the Monday and Wednesday art classes. Mrs. Ely can be emailed at ely_j@shaker.org and teaches the Tuesday and Thursday art classes. If you have any questions or if you would like to help us photograph and upload student art, please let us know.
