The Bolin Blast
Building Bright Futures - October 8, 2026
Dear Bolin Families,
October is off to a wonderful start at Bolin, and our PTA Kindness Fundraiser was a huge success thanks to all of you! We had a fantastic Grandparents Tea this week, and it was so special to see our students share this memorable afternoon with their grandparents and loved ones. Our Book Fair is also still going strong through the end of this week, giving our Blazers plenty of opportunities to find their next great read!
Next week is Fall Break, and we hope everyone enjoys some time to relax, recharge, and spend time together. When we return, we’ll jump right back into learning, and Parent-Teacher Conference Day is Friday, October 16. We’re looking forward to connecting with families and continuing to work together to help every Blazer Saddle Up for Success!
All the best,
Mrs. Clarke, Principal
Mrs. Leblond, Assistant Principal
