Dear Boulevard Families,
Congratulations, Boulevard Families! Due to your generous and caring spirit, we once again exceeded our goal for the annual Socktober sock drive! During the month of October, students brought in 773 pairs of new socks to be donated to an area shelter soon. Thank you once again to Boulevard parent Barbara Brown for organizing and facilitating the drive and to Boulevard’s Library Technician Adrienne Paine for her spot-on tabulation of the socks, as well as for her ongoing support of the drive during our daily morning announcements.
Please be reminded there will be no school on Monday, November 7 and Tuesday, November 8 due to student conferences. Boulevard is striving to conference with 100% of our families; so, if you have yet to set a time to meet with your child’s teacher, please call the office today to schedule a conference.
Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!
Neal Robinson

Our Feature Country: Argentina
The first word of the below text is how to say "hello" in Argentina's official language. I hope you will enjoy reading about Argentina this week and all the other featured countries in the weeks ahead. They will be presented in alphabetical order. Be sure to look out for your country's week!
Hola! Argentina is on the continent of South America. Argentina has a population of over 41.45 million people whose primary language is Spanish. The name Argentina comes from the Latin word for silver 'argentum'.The giant anteater lives in Argentina and can eat 30,000 insects a day! The first tomato plant was grown in Argentina. Argentina shares a land border with 5 countries including Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia and Paraguay. The most popular sport in Argentina is football (soccer). The Latin dance and music called the Tango began in Buenos Aires, the nation’s capital.
About ELL Corner:
For the rest of the school year, we will focus and put the "spotlight" on a country of one of our students. Please also be sure to view the accompanying bulletin board in the flag hallway of Boulevard School. When you read about the country-of-the-week, this means that it will be featured the following Monday through Friday on the bulletin board. Families, please feel welcome to provide your own photos, postcards, or other things from your country that we could easily display on the board. You can send them to school on Monday (put in an envelope clearly marked to Jill Lasheen), and I will be happy to display them, or you can email photos which I can print to display. Of course we will return any items you send in.

Boulevard, you are awesome!
Because of your generous donations we beat our goal again this year of collecting new socks for Socktober, a new sock drive for the homeless started by Kid President.
We donated 773 new pairs of socks to Homeless Stand Down, a local charity that provides homeless individuals, families, and veterans a day of respite from the elements, renewal of the human spirit, and reconnection to needed services that assist in the totality of human wellness and sustainability.
Thank you generous Boulevard community!
