Boulevard Principal
Dear Boulevard Families:
As we begin Winter Recess, I want to take a moment to thank all of you for your ongoing support of Boulevard Elementary. The collaborative spirit and support of the Boulevard community helps to maintain the excellent education our children experience on a daily basis. Last week’s delicious staff appreciation breakfast is just the latest demonstration of how you care for our amazing teachers, and, on behalf of all of them, I sincerely thank you!
During Winter Recess, please encourage your children to read a little bit each and every day. If possible, also model reading and read with them. The time spent with your children and the benefits for them are priceless.
Wishing you a happy, healthy Winter Recess! Classes resume
Monday, January 8.
Sincerely,
Neal Robinson

to create digital art portfolios for the 2017-2018 school year! Each student has an online gallery with his or her art work starting with this school year until they graduate from Boulevard! It is a great way to showcase and share students' creativity, art knowledge, and developing art skills! If you missed the letter that went home with directions for signing up online, please email your student's art teacher and we will send it to you! Ms. Gosses can be emailed at
gosses_a@shaker.org
and teaches the Monday and Wednesday art classes. Mrs. Ely can be emailed at
