November is the month to be thankful! I would like to tell each of you how grateful I am for the privilege to be the principal of Boynton Elementary School. It is such a blessing to work with your children and be a part of their lives. I am also grateful for the incredible staff that works diligently everyday to ensure that our students’ needs are being met and that they are well educated. I appreciate all of our parents and for all of your support you give your children at home and at school and for your financial support. We can’t do our job without you. Thank you to our PTO and Business Partners who are always available to support our school and give of their time and money to make great things happen at Boynton. I am grateful for these many blessings in my life and for our Boynton family.

On October 31st we kicked off our annual Thanksgiving Food Drive. This is a week when students and staff can give back to our very own Boynton community. A flyer was sent out listing all non-perishable items that we will collect from October 31st -November 4th. We will also take monetary donations which will be used to purchase milk, bread, turkeys, etc. right before Thanksgiving day. All donations will go directly to our Boynton families. I appreciate your willingness to consider donating to this special project.

Thank you to everyone who sold Moonpies! We made $14,000.00 in Moonpie sales. You guys are incredible! All money raised through this fundraiser will go towards instructional supplies and interventions for our students, technology, and facility improvements. We appreciate your support! Congratulations to Harper Roddy in Ms. Roloff’s class. She was our 1st place Moonpie seller and won $100. Olivia Thompson from Ms. Badacour’s class came in 2nd place and won $75. Miranda Parker from Ms. Roloff’s class came in 3rd place and won $50. Ms. Dye’s class sold the most Moonpies (235 cases) and won a pizza party and get to keep “Pi the Alien” for the entire school year. We are so proud of these students and ALL of our students at Boynton. You guys rock!

My hope for everyone this November is that your family stays healthy and well, you look for opportunities to give to others, and you have an incredible Thanksgiving Holiday with your family.
