Dear Boulevard Families,
Thank you to all who came out for the All-School Art Show and Ice Cream Social last
evening and a special thank you to Mrs. Naomi Loges for her many years of service
to Shaker and especially the students of Boulevard! In her final art show before her
retirement, Mrs. Loges continued her long history and tradition of excellence! I was
truly awestruck at how she transformed the halls of Boulevard into a world-class
gallery, filled with the amazing artwork of our students!
The festivities continue next week with a PTO meeting on Wednesday, May 17th,
followed by the PTO Carnival on Friday, May 19th . Please mark your calendars now
and join us for both events!
With the school year still in full session, I find it hard to believe that the teachers and
I will soon begin the process of planning classes for 2017-2018! During this
process, we consider the learning strengths and needs of each child, as well as his or
her social and emotional maturity, to create cohorts that reflect the rich diversity of
our community.
If you feel there is additional information that you would like us to consider in
making your child’s placement, we certainly welcome your input! The class
placement information form is now posted on Boulevard’s website at Shaker.org.
While the form is purely optional, if you choose to provide additional information
regarding your child’s interests, learning style and personality, please return the
form to the office on or before Friday, May 26th . While we value your insights, we
ask that you please refrain from requesting a specific teacher as such requests make
it difficult to meet the needs of every student.
Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you to all the families which came to Boulevard last week for the International Families Ice Cream Social. We had a fun evening of coloring, games, socializing and of course ice cream! We enjoy having International families as part of our Boulevard family and we are so happy you are here!
Our Feature Country: Sudan
السلام عليكم! (As-salām 'alaikum)
Sudan is our other spotlighted country this week. Sudan used to be the largest country in Africa and the Middle East (area wise), before the country split into two nations in July 2011 (Sudan and South Sudan). It is the 16th largest country in the world. Today Sudan has a population of 34 million and South Sudan has a population of 8.3 million. The official language of Sudan is Arabic and most people in South Sudan speak English. Football (soccer) and basketball are popular sports in Sudan. The popular cuisine in Sudan includes cheeses, breads, stews and fish dishes. Two meals a day is the norm in Sudan. The family will share the most important meal: dinner (evening). The currency is the Sudanese dinar.
