Thank you to Ms. Slaviero and some of our 8th graders for decorating the Boulan Park entrance in honor of Veterans Day.

The holiday season is a wonderful time to come together and make a difference in the lives of others. This year, Boulan Park is participating in an Adopt-a-Family opportunity to help bring some extra joy and happiness to a family who could use a little Boulan support.
There are several ways to help, including making a monetary contribution or donating needed items.
No contribution is too small, and every little bit can make a meaningful difference. Our goal is to work together with the Boulan community to make the holidays a little brighter for a family.
Thank you for considering being part of this effort and for always showing the kindness and generosity that make our school community so special!
Thank you for helping us spread a little holiday cheer!

🚧 Construction Updates 🚧
Dear Boulan Families,
We are excited to share another update on the progress of the Boulan Park Middle School renovation project!
Construction continues to move forward, and we are pleased with the progress being made. Crews are currently in the final stages of underground plumbing work and are preparing to begin pouring concrete slabs. Additionally, masonry work has begun, with crews laying block throughout the construction site. As we head into the winter months, we anticipate a very active construction site, with significant progress taking place as the transformation of Boulan Park continues.
We are also excited to share that Superintendent Dr. Rich Machesky will be recording an upcoming episode of his podcast on location at Boulan Park, providing our community with a firsthand look at the construction progress and what's ahead for the project.
We look forward to sharing additional updates as construction progresses. Thank you for your support!
