Dear Boulevard Families
This past week, as temperatures soared, our fabulous PTO helped keep the teachers and students cool by once again providing popsicles for our third annual Popsicle Drill on Tuesday afternoon. Thank you to the PTO for their generous donation of popsicles for the entire school! After working in sweltering temperatures for two consecutive days, the students and teachers were rewarded with refreshingly frozen treats to help get us through the week on a much cooler note.
Thank you also to all of the kindergarten families who attended Curriculum Night this past Wednesday! I hope the evening proved to be an informative learning experience, and participants came away with a better understanding of what our youngest students will be learning this year.
The month of October marks the advent of Boulevard’s third annual Socktober sock drive. Last year, Boulevard students took action and collected more than 1,000 socks for an area shelter. This year, our goal is to once again collect even more socks! Special thanks to Boulevard parent Erin Zelin for coordinating and facilitating this year’s drive!
In closing, the PTO Pumpkin and Baked Goods sale will take place starting at the close of school next Friday, October 6. Hope to see many of you there!
Have a wonderful weekend!
