From Mr. Robinson

Dear Boulevard Families:

As we begin Spring Recess, I want to wish everyone a happy and safe break! While students take a  momentary hiatus from their studies between March 27-31, I want to encourage all of our students to  continue to read daily for at least 20 minutes. This practice will help students to have a successful  return on Monday, April 3, when classes resume.

Happy Spring Break!

Thank you,
Neal Robinson

Our Feature Country: Nepal


नमस्ते(Namaste)! Next week our spotlight country is Nepal. This country lies between China and India in South Asia and is home to more than 30 million people. The languages most commonly spoken are Nepali and English. In this country, most foods are spicy including the dish called Dal Bhat which eaten every day by the local people. Cows, which is the national animal, are often seen wandering around the city. Nepal has the greatest altitude change of any location of Earth! The lowlands are at sea level and the Himalayas mountains are the tallest in the world! Mount Everest is also in Nepal and rises to 29,035 feet, the world’s highest peak. The currency is the Nepalese Rupee.
