Newsletter

From the Superintendent


Please remember the PTF meeting tomorrow night at 6:30. We need as many parents as possible to come out and support this organization.

Thank you to all of you who supported our Applefest event last Friday. I especially want to thank all of the members of LACE for their hard work in raising money for the school and organizing a terrific community event for our families.

I wish that I had been able to be here for Applefest, because I know that it is always a fun event and well organized. My mother’s 80th birthday was last Friday, and I was thankful for the opportunity to celebrate that event with her in Birmingham.

Please remember that Monday, November 2 is our annual Christian Schools Inservice Day. This will be held at Columbia Academy. School will be closed on that day.

The scavenger hunt, which is sponsored by the Interact Club, runs from tomorrow through Thursday.

Welcome Back Newsletter

From the Superintendent


I want to thank all of our students who brought guests with them for Bring A Friend To School Day. We had a total of 60 guest students, up from 44 the year before. We are excited that one of those guests enrolled today! We hope that more of our guests will join us here at Boyd as students.

Special thanks also go to the BBB Booster Club for putting on the bonfire the night before. It was well attended and was a big success.

This Friday, October 23, beginning at 4:00, the ladies of LACE will once again have the annual Applefest program. There will be lots of fun, games, food, and basket auctions. The members of LACE always put in so much hard work to make Applefest a success, and they raise important funds for the school.

Please remember that Monday, November 2 is our annual Christian Schools Inservice Day. This will be held at Columbia Academy. School will be closed on that day.

Congratulations go to our 5th and 6th grade basketball teams for their performances in the pre-season tournament at Warren County High School before fall break. The boys came in 3rd place and the girls finished in 5th place. Alex Hobbs, Blathen Woodlee, and Dylan Tubb were named to the all-tournament team.

10.5.09

From the Superintendent


This week we have some very important events here at Boyd. To begin with, our 5th and 6th grade basketball teams play in the 3 Point Club tournament at Warren County High School beginning today. Play will continue throughout the week. Our schedule will depend upon our results tonight.

Then, this Thursday evening, the BBB Boster Club will host a bonfire here at school beginning at 6:30. This is another great opportunity to get prospective students on our campus. We hope that all of our students will plan to come to the bonfire and bring a guest. BBB began this event last year prior to Bring A Friend To School Day, and it was such a success that they decided to make it an annual tradition.

Please remember Bring a Friend to School Day on Friday, October 9. We are asking all students in grades K-11 to talk to their friends who might be interested in attending Boyd. Registration forms are going home today. These must be signed and returned by the parents/guardian of the guest student. 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.

Also on Friday, beginning at 4:00, the ladies of LACE will once again have the annual Applefest program. There will be lots of fun, games, food, and basket auctions. The members of LACE always put in so much hard work to make Applefest a success, and they raise important funds for the school.











We had $2,258 worth of sales in our recent Book Fair. Our librarian, Mrs. Shelly Rhoton, always does an outstanding job not just with the book fair, but with the entire operation of the library and the Accelerated Reader program. The Book Fair helps to provide needed resources for our library. I want to thank all of you who supported the fair and helped to make it successful.

Last week we completed our Name the Mascot contest. The name which was selected was “Bucky the Blazing Bronco”. Thanks to all the students who participated, and a big thanks to Coach Gary Jackson for spearheading this project. Enthusiasm and school spirit is high, and we want to see that continue to grow.

The total net income from the fair food booth was $6,505.15. Once again, I want to thank each and every one of you who helped to make this project a success.
