From the Superintendent
We almost have the revenue totals from the fair food booth. We still are expecting another invoice or two. When we have all of the totals, we will make that public.
Our website and e-mail service is down today. We do not yet know when it will be restored. We appreciate your patience as we work through this.
The “Name the Mascot” contest continues this week. As you know, the school mascot is the Broncos, and we are in the process of improving our costume and having a student mascot at ball games. Students have submitted suggestions for a name for the mascot and are voting this week.
Our visiting team from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools will visit Boyd on April 29-30, 2010. The team will be chaired by Dr. Monte Tatom from Freed Hardeman University. We have completed our school improvement plan and will soon post it to the school website.
Bring A Friend To School Day
Friday, October 9
We are eagerly looking forward to our Bring a Friend to School Day on Friday, October 9. This is the only day of the year that we will be in school when Warren County Schools are closed. We are asking all students in grades K-11 to talk to their friends who might be interested in attending Boyd. We would like for each student who is able to bring one friend to school with them on that day. Last year’s bring a Friend Day was a huge success, with 44 guest students in attendance. We would like to have more guests this year. Registration forms will go home this week. These must be signed and returned by the parents/guardian of the guest student.

For those of you who could not attend the PTF meeting last night, I wantedto update you on the fair booth. We grossed over $16000 and profited nearly$7000. A great big thank you to EVERYONE who worked the booth. Thank youalso to everyone who brought pies, chili, brownies or beans. I was humbledby the response of all the loving cooks we have at this school. On apersonal note, I got to know so many of you this last two weeks. I feel blessed to know so many wonderful people who support our wonderful school.Thank you so much for all your support of the booth, if all you could do waspatron it. I am honored to have been able to work with and for you. Also, if you left a dish with us, they are in the cafeteria.

I again want to express my appreciation to everyone who donated time to work at the fair food booth, and also to those of you who made things to sell. A special thank you goes to Dachelle McVey for supervising the food booth. Dachelle and her family put in so many hours this week to make sure that our food booth was successful. Dachelle did an outstanding job, and we could not have been so successful without her. Thank you, Dachelle!
We were well represented by Boyd students at this year’s fair. Megan Boren, a senior, was named first runner-up in the “Fairest of the Fair” contest. Lauren Wilcher, another senior, and Monica Hillis, graduate of 2008, also were among the top ten finalists. Natalie Knox won a red ribbon in the art contest. Please let us know of any other students who won awards.
For all of our athletes in all grades, Dr. Jeff McVey, along with Mrs. Libby Kuykendall, have generously offered to provide sports physicals free of charge. These will be performed at Dr. McVey’s office beginning September 25. Please call Dr. McVey’s office at 815-5437 to schedule an appointment. Appointment times will begin at 3:15 in the afternoon and continue until 6:00 or 6:30. These are free of charge, and no insurance claims will be generated. This is a tremendous service to our students, and we appreciate Dr. McVey and Mrs. Kuykendall for making this service available to our families.
I have been informed by Coach Jackson that the local Walmart will begin selling Boyd gear in early October. It’s good to have a little more recognition in the community.
Today we are beginning a contest here at school to “Name the Mascot”. As you know, the school mascot is the Broncos, and we are in the process of improving our costume and having a
student mascot at ball games. Students will be submitting suggestions for a name for the mascot.

I want to thank all of our parents, staff, students, and school board members who have done so much to help with our food booth at the fair. Special thanks go to Mrs. Dachelle McVey for all of her hard work in organizing the booth. It is an incredibly difficult and time consuming task to find and organize volunteers, order food and supplies, account for the money, etc. Mrs. McVey has done an outstanding job. We still need volunteers to work this week, so please contact Mrs. McVey if you are able to assist. You may get a message to her through us here at school.
I also want to thank Mr. Steve Hillis and Mrs. Sonia Vandagriff for their efforts in organizing our booth under the grandstand. Thanks to some donors, we have been able to give away free Bibles with the school’s name inside to anyone who wants a copy. We also have been showing the video of the Gene Stallings speech, as well as a promotional video about the school which was filmed by Mr. Shelby Kohring, the youth minister at the Westwood Church of Christ. This video was very professionally done, and we are indebted to Shelby for his efforts with this.
Last week, Mr. Greg Vinson and I attended a luncheon at Lipscomb University for business managers and administrators from area Christian schools. In attendance were representatives from Middle Tennessee Christian, Ezell-Harding, Nashville Christian, Friendship Christian, and the Lipscomb Campus School. All of the schools represented reported a decline in enrollment, with a couple of schools dropping by as many as 60 and 70 students. Only Boyd Christian reported an increase in
enrollment. I felt very fortunate that in tough economic times, God continues to bless us.
Some of you have been helpful in providing names and contact information for home schooled students in the area. We are putting together a database of home school families here in Warren County that we can contact about providing some of these services. This could be an excellent source of revenue for the school; we could even gain some new full time students. If you know of a family that home schools their children, please pass along their name and phone number to us here in the office.

We still need volunteers to work in the fair food booth. As you know, the Fair will be held September 11-19. Many parents have volunteered, but we still need more. We need all parents to help us in any way possible. Please contact Mrs. Dachelle McVey if you are able to help. This is one of our biggest fundraising projects of the year. Your help is appreciated by all of us.
As many of you know, President Obama will speak to the nation’s school children today on the topic of their personal responsibility for their education. Yesterday, the White House posted the text of President Obama’s speech on its website. You can read the entire speech here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/MediaResources/PreparedSchoolRemarks/. I have read the text of the speech, and I believe the message is very worthwhile for children to hear. Given that the topic is personal responsibility, it seems an especially appropriate message for parents to share with their children to help reinforce the issue of responsibility both at school and in the home. The tape of the speech will likely be available on the internet and on television this week. I suggest that all parents read the text of the speech and decide for themselves if they want to share it with their children. I will have copies of the text available here at school in case any of you would like a copy.
As I mentioned last week, we are looking for ways that we can provide services to home schooled students here in Warren County. We are putting together a database of home school families here in Warren County that we can contact about providing some of these services.

7th-8th Grade Girls’ Basketball Meeting
We will have an important meeting for all parents and girls who want to play 7th-8th grade basketball this Friday afternoon at 5:00 in the school cafeteria. We do not have enough of our own students to form a team, and since it is not a high school team, it is acceptable to allow girls who are not students here at Boyd to play. If your daughter is interested in playing, please plan to be at the meeting. Also, if you are aware of any home schooled girls who may be interested, please mention it to their parents.
