From Mr. Robinson

Dear Boulevard Families:

I trust everyone enjoyed a spectacular Spring Recess. I am very pleased to report that we have had a  tremendous week of learning here at Boulevard. The students seem genuinely happy to be back and  readily returned to our established routines.

Please be reminded there will be no school this coming Friday, April 14, in honor of Good Friday. Classes  will resume Monday, April 17.

Thank you and have a lovely weekend! For those of you who celebrate it, Happy Passover, which begins  Monday evening at sunset.

Thank you,
Neal Robinson

Our Feature Country: Nigeria

This week our spotlight is on Nigeria! This West African country which borders the Atlantic Ocean has a population of 184 million people. It is the most populated country in Africa, and the 7th most populous in the world. Nigeria is very diverse, with more than 250 ethnic groups; the largest are the Yoruba, the Hausa and Fulani and the Ibo (Igbo). There are many languages spoken in Nigeria, with English designated as the official language. About 30% of the country’s jobs are in agriculture, with major crops including beans, sesame, cocoa beans, and yams. Some popular foods include spicy pepper soup, Nkwobi, and plantains.  The school year in Nigeria runs from January through December. Typically, there are three semesters, with a month off following each one. The currency is the Nigerian Naira.
