Dear Boulevard Families:
Now that it again looks and feels like a typical Cleveland winter, please be sure to send in appropriate
outdoor gear for your child, including winter coat, hat and gloves. The students will play outside as
much as possible, and the students are only allowed to play in the snow if they have snow pants and
boots.
If you are someone who drops off your child in the morning, please help us keep your child safe by
dropping him or her off on the parking lot side of the building, as opposed to the playground side.
Please make certain your contact information is current. If not, please update the information with Mrs.
Day or Mrs. Johnson in the Boulevard office so that we can reach you in the event of an emergency.
And, finally, please be reminded that there will be no school this coming Monday, January 16. In honor
of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, all Shaker schools and offices
will be closed. Also, there will be no classes
for students on Friday, January 20, due to a professional/clerical day for teachers
Thank you and have a wonderful weekend,
Neal Robinson

ሰላም። (Sälam)! Ethiopia is our spotlighted country of the week! This country is on the continent of Africa, and has a population of 84.7 million. It is a dry country with little rain. There are over 80 different languages spoken in Ethiopia, with Oromo and Amharic being the most frequently spoken. In Ethiopia, most families live in rural areas. It is common for an extended family to live in a cluster of houses and farm together. Coffee was first discovered in Ethiopia. Injera, a pancake-like bread is used to scoop up spicy dishes such as Doro Wat (chicken stew) and Mesir Wat (lentil stew). The most popular sport is soccer and the currency is the Ethiopian birr
