From Mr. Robinson

Dear Boulevard Families:

Thank you to all who came out in support of Boulevard’s International Potluck this past Friday evening.

What a great opportunity to celebrate Boulevard’s rich diversity! The event was well attended, with  great food and fellowship for all. A special thanks to Mrs. Alison Bradford and Mrs. Jill Lasheen for  facilitating the evening and to Mr. Greg Williams, who led the children in fun and engaging games.

While the students will not have school on Friday, January 20 due to a Professional/Clerical Day for  teachers, please encourage your child to read over the three-day weekend. I look forward to resuming
classes on Monday, January 23.

Thank you and have a wonderful weekend,

Neal Robinson

Our Feature Country: Germany

Hallo/Guten Tag! Our country of the week is Germany! This country is located in Europe, with a population of 82 million people. Berlin is not only Germany's capital city, but also the biggest city. Germans love sports! In schools, the most popular sport activities are football (soccer), volleyball, basketball, ballet and dancing. Germans enjoy sauerbraten (meaning 'sour' or 'pickled' roast) a kind of pot roast, potato dumplings (Kartoffelkn ö del or Kartoffel Kl ö sse), schnitzel and apple strudel. Did you know that Albert Einstein, a brilliant scientist who was a thinker, inquirer, and a risk-taker, was born in Germany?
