Dear Boulevard Families:
Spring has officially sprung at Boulevard! I am happy to report that we have had three positive and
productive weeks of school since returning from spring break. Our third and fourth graders are joyfully
nearing the completion of their AIR assessments, and our fourth graders are busy gearing up for
Exhibition.
A true sign of spring is the advent of Kindergarten Orientation! This week, I met with the families of
incoming kindergarten students on Wednesday evening and provided them with an overview of a typical
day in the life of our youngest learners. This coming week, on Friday, April 28 between 9:30 and 10:30
a.m., incoming kindergarteners and their grownups will have the opportunity to visit the school, where
the children will participate in specially designed art and P.E. classes and take a ride on a Shaker school
bus! I look forward to seeing many of our newest learners and their grownups at this upcoming event!
If you would like more information regarding what your child is learning in physical education, please
visit www.pyppeboulevard.com. The website is updated regularly by Boulevard’s physical education
teachers, Mr. Scott Kovelan and Mr. Joe Welsch, and provides physical education activities you can do at
home, lessons and pictures of our students in action.
Finally, I want to take this opportunity to inform you that Boulevard students will be practicing fire,
tornado and lockdown drills in the weeks ahead. All three safety drills are conducted per state law.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have regarding these state-mandated safety
procedures.
Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!
Neal Robinson

Our Feature Country: Russia
3дравствуйте! (Zdravstvujte!) Russia is our spotlight of the week! Russia is the largest country in the world located in Asia. It has a population of 142 million. In this country, students receive 9 years of elementary education. The Trans-Siberian Railway spans almost all the way across the county, making it the single longest railway in the world. Chess is a national obsession. Soccer is the most popular sport, followed by ice hockey and ice skating. Russia’s most famous animal species is the Siberian tiger, which is the largest cat in the world (and also an endangered animal)
