Dear Families,
Please mark your calendars for the evening of Thursday, February 23 when we will be celebrating our
second annual Around the World – Sharing Our Cultures. During the evening, which kicks off at 6:30 in
Boulevard’s lower level, we will be celebrating Boulevard’s rich diversity.
Families will receive a
“passport” and visit various stations set up in the gym and multi-purpose room to learn about different
countries from around the world. There will be food, fun and much more, so please join us!
Just a friendly reminder that school starts at 9:05 a.m. and ends at 3:25 p.m. daily. Students should not
arrive to school prior to 9:05 a.m., as there is no adult supervision outside to monitor them. Also, if you
are picking up your child from school, please be timely in doing so. This will help provide our staff with
the time needed to adequately prepare for the next school day.
Finally, there is no school on Monday, February 20, due to Presidents’ Day. School resumes Tuesday,
February 21.
Thank you and have a spectacular weekend!

Around the World - Sharing our Cultures
This Thursday - February 23, 2017
|
|
Now it is more important than ever that we come together as a community, support our international families, and show our pride in our diversity.
Around the World - Sharing our Cultures
Thursday, February 23, 6:30 p.m.
Boulevard Elementary School
Please join us for an evening where many of our international families, and a few of our “local” families, share something from their country. Bring your family, pick up your passport at the door, and experience the culture of many of the countries represented in our community. You will learn some of the language and traditions, listen to music, create something unique, or taste something delicious!
Students and their families who attend that evening will receive a “passport” and visit stations in Boulevard’s gym and multi-purpose room to learn about the various countries.

Our Feature Country: Ireland
Dia duit! (diaGUIT!) Ireland is our Spotlight country next week. This country is considered part of the continent of Europe, however is an island. Ireland covers 5/6 of the island of the same name, the remaining 1/6 of the island is Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom (UK). Irish, or Irish Gaelic, is the country's 1st official language, however the 2nd is English which is more commonly spoken. There are over 4.75 million people living in Ireland. Frank McCourt, the author of Angela’s Ashes, was from Limerick, Ireland. Saint Patrick's Day is Ireland’s official national holiday on the 17th of March. The famed Blarney stone is located in Cork, Ireland. The Titanic’s last stop was made in Cobh (formerly Queenstown), Ireland. Ireland’s currency is the Euro! We hope you enjoyed learning about Ireland.
In case you missed it: if your family has a connection with the spotlighted country, featured here on Friday, please send in (the following Monday) your family’s things such as photos, maps, artifacts, etc. that we can add to our bulletin board display spotlighting the country. All items will be returned to you. Please send them in an envelope attention to Mrs. Lasheen. Be sure to include your name so we know who to return it to!
