Borlaug International Festival was a huge success!

I want to thank our dedicated parents and staff for an outstanding International Festival last Friday evening.  It was wonderful to see us gathered as a community celebrating our various cultures through displays and sharing delicious foods.  Below is a link to a photo slide show of our International Festival which we hope you enjoy viewing as a family.http://www.edline.net/pages/Borlaug_Elementary_School/Activities/International_Festival
This Friday, March 15th, will be a special day at Borlaug – It’s Beach Day! Spring Break is just around the corner, so let’s pretend we are on a sunny beach instead of experiencing an Iowa winter!  We hope our Borlaug students will dress for the occasion with a fun t-shirt, or hat, or sunglasses, etc. 
This Friday will also be our School-Wide BINGO celebration!  Our Borlaug Bulldogs have reached our goal of 40,000 Borlaug Bulldog tickets through their respectful, responsible, and safe behaviors. We will celebrate by playing BINGO for the last half hour of the day.  We will use our PA system and the SMART Boards to play as classroom teams.  It is sure to be lots of fun!
I hope you have a super Spring Break!
