Dear Boulevard Families:
T
hank you to all who came out in support of the recent bond levy! Your affirmation of the Shaker Schools means a great deal, and your support will positively impact Boulevard for years to come.
If you have been thinking that Boulevard’s grounds are looking even more beautiful than usual, you are correct! The freshly groomed landscaping and bright, new potted flowers are the direct result of the
PTO’s recent Garden Clean Up. Thank you to the group of dedicated individuals who came out on a Saturday to make the improvements on behalf of our beloved school. Their hard work and devotion are sincerely appreciated!
As Teacher Appreciation Week comes to an end, I would like to thank Boulevard’s amazing PTO for all of
the love and appreciation shown to our teachers and staff this week. As we near the end of the school
year, your acts of kindness mean more than you know!
Please mark your calendars for a couple of important events scheduled for the week ahead. The first is
Reduce, Reuse, & Recycle: Tackling Waste in the Shaker Schools, which is being jointly presented by the
Sustainable Shaker Task Force and the Shaker Schools on
Tuesday, May 9 from 7-8:30 pm in the Onaway
gym.
The Sustainable Shaker Task Force is a group of City officials, Council members, and residents working to promote sustainable practices across the City. The Task Force is partnering with the Shaker Schools to get as many students from across the district to attend and promote best practices for
recycling, reducing, and reusing waste. The second event is Boulevard’s All-School Art Show and Ice
Cream Social, which is scheduled for
Thursday, May 11, beginning at 6:30 pm.
This year’s show should definitely not be missed as it is Mrs. Loges’ final one before her retirement.
And, finally, if you have a kindergartener who you have yet to register for school in the fall, please
consider registering your child this week. Appointments can be made with the registrar’s office by
calling 216-295-1400.
Thank you again and have a wonderful weekend!
