Boulevard Principal
Dear Boulevard Families,
One of the IB Learner Profile attributes we strive to instill in all of our students is the attribute of caring. We work on it daily and throughout our days. As you know, classes celebrated Valentine’s Day this week with friendship celebrations, one more way we promote caring at Boulevard. Thank you to the many parent volunteers who helped make these celebrations possible. Please know that your support of time and treats not only made for a fun afternoon, but also supported our IB goals!
This evening, Shaker’s annual Sweetheart Dance for grades pre-K-4 will take place at the Middle School from 6-8 p.m. If you have yet to buy your tickets, you may purchase them at the door.
Finally, there will be no school on Monday, February 19, due to Presidents’ Day. Classes will resume Tuesday, February 20.
Thank you and have a spectacular weekend!
Sincerely,
Neal Robinson
