🎉 Boulevard’s After-Hours Bash! 🎉 On Friday night, June 13th, Boulevard Elementary turned into the ultimate party zone! Over 30 students gathered for an unforgettable “after hours party” hosted by Assistant Principal Mr. Dennis Bye. 🎈🍕🍦 This special celebration honored the top ten fundraisers of our Ronald McDonald House Read-A-Thon, where students helped raise over $4,500 for an amazing cause! Their prize of choice? A night of fun right here at school—and it did NOT disappoint. Each top fundraiser invited up to three friends, and the evening kicked off with pizza and board games, followed by a visit from a local ice cream truck 🍕🍦🎲. The night continued with dodgeball, tag, hide and seek, and ended with a cozy movie and popcorn session. 🎬🍿 We overheard students saying things like: ✨ “This is the best night of my life!” ✨ “I’ll remember this forever!” ✨ “I’ve never had so much fun in school!” Mr. Bye shared, “Hearing those comments and seeing the joy on their faces made every bit of effort and expense completely worth it.” 💬❤️ A huge shoutout to our amazing scholars for showing how doing good can lead to great things. #BoulevardProud #ReadAThon #RMH #AfterHoursFun #StudentCelebration
