Santa Store
The Santa Store again was a great success. The students really enjoyed shopping for their family members and friends. Thank you so much to teachers, aides, and parents who voluntarily shared their time to decorate and help pick out gifts for students. Thank you to our parent volunteers: Bonnie Crippen, Tiffany Pardue, Tiera Kardas, Erica Blythe, Tracy Cotten, Amanda Dewey, and Breanna Strawn.
School Board Recognition Month
January 2017 is School Board Recognition Month. Plan now to show your school board members you appreciate their dedication and hard work. They are extraordinary people who voluntarily tackle the enormous job of governing school districts. Their actions and decisions affect the present and future lives of our children. Recognizing board members for their commitment and sacrifice takes a combined effort on the part of all those they serve: administrators, school staff, students and the community. Even though showing appreciation should be a year round process, taking advantage of the designated School Board Recognition Month in January assures that these important people receive some of the thanks they deserve.
Take this opportunity to help acknowledge our public servants who make the time to share their vision and voice about the future of Boles ISD children.
Thank you,
