Dear Boulevard Families:
I
f you have yet to hear, Boulevard is in the midst of a week-long read-a- thon to promote literacy among
our students. The event began on Thursday, March 2, in celebration of Dr. Seuss’ birthday. All week,
students and staff are celebrating reading with fun activities throughout the days, such as daily DEAR
time. (DEAR stands for Drop Everything And Read!) To learn more, please ask your child about
Boulevard’s premiere Read-a- thon.
I am happy to inform you that the Shaker Heights Schools Summer, Exploration, Learning and Fun (SELF)
program is now accepting registrations. SELF provides a wide array of summer enrichment
opportunities for all of our students. Scholarships are available for children who are eligible for
free/reduced meals.
Spots in these exciting programs will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis so please sign up at your
earliest convenience at www.shaker.org/self.aspx.
Finally, I hope to see many of you at A Night for the Red & White tomorrow evening. A Night for the
Red & White is a celebration of our community and our schools working together to raise funds for
enrichment activities focusing on the arts, humanities, technology, and health and fitness. The event
kicks off at 7:00 p.m. at the Hilton Cleveland Downtown and should prove to be an enjoyable and
engaging evening for all.

Our Feature Country: Jordon
Next week we are spotlighting the country of Jordan! This Arabic-speaking country located in the Middle East and considered part of Asia has a population of 6 million (capital: Amman). Jordan borders the countries of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Israel, and the Palestinian territories. The Jordan River is the lowest river in the world, and ends in the Dead Sea. The national symbol is the eagle and the national flower is the black iris. Ancient city of Petra is famous for its rock-cut architecture, underground tunnels and rooms. Jordan is mostly a dry desert. This country is the only one in the Middle East without the natural resource of oil. One of the key aspects of Jordanian culture is the hospitality shown by hosts to their guests. The currency is the dinar!
In case you missed it: if your family has a connection with the spotlighted country, featured here on Friday, please send in (the following Monday) your family’s things such as photos, maps, artifacts, etc. that we can add to our bulletin board display spotlighting the country. All items will be returned to you. Please send them in an envelope attention to Mrs. Lasheen. Be sure to include your name so we know who to return it to!

Each week the Boulevard PTO publishes the Boulevard Friday Flyer highlighting school events for our families. If you have items to contribute to the flyer, please submit to boulevardfridayflyer@yahoo.com by 12 pm on Wednesdays.
