Dear Families:
Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year and thank you for sharing your children with us! We have had an amazing first week here at Boulevard! On Wednesday, our first day of school, we had a very calm and smooth beginning to our day, followed by a beautiful flag-raising ceremony. Since then, the teachers and students have been busy creating Essential Agreements and building relationships and classroom communities. I am thrilled to report that our students are loving school, and Boulevard is simply buzzing with positive energy.
Please take a moment and mark your calendars for Boulevard’s Curriculum Night for grades 1-4, which is scheduled for this coming Thursday, August 31st.  (Please note: Kindergarten Curriculum Night is being held separately on Wednesday, September 27 at 6:00 p.m.) Curriculum Night – for adults only please – is an evening to meet your child’s teacher and learn about some of the many wonderful experiences your child will have this year at Boulevard. Due to limited parking around Boulevard, we are again conducting our Grades 1-4 Curriculum Night in two shifts. If you have a first or second grader, your child’s teacher will share the curriculum with you in your child’s classroom from 6:30-7:15 p.m. If you have a third or fourth grader, your child’s teacher will share the curriculum with you in your child’s classroom from 5:30-6:15 p.m. I hope to see you there! Have a truly wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,
Neal Robinson

Rainbow Run at Shaker Middle School 

Friday, September 15, 3:45pm All Shaker Schools students are invited to participate in the Middle School’s Rainbow Run fundraiser, a two mile run through the neighborhood surrounding the middle school. This is a fun event that takes place after school on Friday, September 15, at 3:45pm. Registration costs $5, and those who raise/donate at least $25 are given a white T-shirt that is sprayed with colored powder at various stations along the way. 
For more information and to register, click here.

The Shaker Middle School Rainbow Run is looking for two Boulevard parent volunteers to run the Boulevard Color Station for the Rainbow Run! The volunteers are in charge of finding 8-10 Boulevard students to be at the Boulevard color station during the Rainbow Run (taking place on Friday September 15th at 3:45) and will oversee the kids throwing color on the runners during the race! The kids have tons of fun with the color and it is a great way to show your Boulevard school spirit! Please contact Keely O’Bryan or Holly Carpenter.
