Dear Boulevard Families:
Are you looking for great summer programs for your child? The Shaker Heights City School
District is still accepting registrants for Summer, Exploration, Learning and Fun (SELF), which
provides a wide array of summer enrichment programs for all students in our District. Programs
will have a focus on the arts, STEAM, global languages, skill, career and personal development.
All programs offer a robust curriculum that includes a focus on Literacy and Math Standards.
The “Publish Your Own Book” and “Ready, Set, Grow” options are best for students who need
reading and math enrichment. For more detailed information and registration go
to http://www.shaker.org/self.aspx .
With these activities taking place and the onset of spring weather, please be reminded that
there is an important balance between school and play. Social skills learned during
unstructured play have been proven to help with academic performance. As noted by Randy
Pausch, the late author of The Last Lecture, “Never, ever underestimate the importance of
having fun!”
Speaking of fun, if you have not already done so, please mark your calendar for Boulevard’s All-
School Art Show and Ice Cream Social on May 11th. Join us for a wonderful evening of
celebration, as the wildly talented and much loved art teacher, Mrs. Naomi Loges, shows off the
creativity of our students in her final year of teaching. It will truly be a night to remember, and I hope to see you all there!
Sincerely,
Neal Robinson

Our Feature Country: Saudi Arabia
السلام عليكم (As-salām 'alaikum)! Saudi Arabia is our country of the week. It is commonly referred to as KSA, an acronym for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This Asian country is a desert with no above ground rivers or lakes and very little rainfall. 24 million people live there. Soccer is a popular sport. Mecca and Medina are two popular destinations that the world’s Muslim population flocks to. A traditional dish of Saudi Arabia is khabsa, which includes a special blend of spices, rice, and chicken. The country is part of the Arabian Peninsula, which is the world’s largest peninsula (land surrounded by water on 3 sides). The Riyadh camel market is one of the largest in the world, selling about 100 camels each day!
