We are off to a great start: August 31-September 4, 2015



Welcome to the second week of school!  Thank you for a great opening week.  I enjoyed all my visits to your classrooms and work locations. I credit this smooth opening to your diligence in teaching the students our Bolton expectations from day one.  Keep it up!  We can never stop modeling and holding ourselves and our students to the highest of expectations.  

This week during the morning announcements we will add a daily quote about dreaming big. Listen for this week's quotes from Walt Disney, Harriet Tubman, Eleanor Roosevelt and others.

First Week of School: August 24-28, 2015






We have had a great start to the 2015-2016 school year!  Our staff has been working hard to make sure that this is Bolton's best year ever!  Each week I will put out a new Bolton Bears Blog for our staff.  This will be one method of communication along with any e-mails and memos that Mrs. McBride and send.  This will also be an avenue to celebrate you, our students and our school successes.  It is extremely important that you read the weekly blog and check your 
e-mails daily.  E-mails are essential for strong communication because it allows our staff the opportunity to communicate with many people at once.  



Don't forget that Bolton's theme is: The Joy of Lifelong Learning: DREAM BIG! I want each of us to dream the biggest dream that we can for Bolton Elementary and then we will put feet to that dream and make it happen.  Have a wonderful first day with your students! 
YOU make the difference.
