Boulevard Friday Flyer 11/3/17

The Friday flyer is a weekly publication of the Boulevard PTO

Boulevard Principal  Dear Boulevard Families, Wednesday, November 1 st ended up being another extraordinary day at Boulevard and across Shaker. Fresh on the heels of our Halloween celebrations the day before and in addition to it being Tour Your Schools Day, our students had the very unique learning opportunity of having a 20-minute downlink with NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station. While Mrs. Eagleton’s third-grade class and Mrs. Kline’s fourth-grade class proudly represented Boulevard at the high school, the site of the actual downlink, the rest of our first-through-fourth graders formed various watch parties around the building so that they too could participate in and benefit from this once-in-a-lifetime learning experience. The NASA downlink is just one more example of the Shaker Experience, the enriching educational experiences that we provide for all of our students on an on-going basis. Please be reminded there will be no school on Tuesday, November 7 due to Election Day. Classes will resume as usual on Wednesday, November 8. Thank you and have a wonderful weekend! Neal Robinson
