Holiday Excellence Store Opens Soon!

The Boyd Holiday store will be beginning the 11th year of operation starting Monday

December 5th. The Boyd Holiday store is unique in the fact that no money is required

to shop there! Instead of money a teacher sends students based on behavior, no tardi-

ness, homework completed and good citizenship. Your student may come home anytime

with a package wrapped for someone special in your house from the 6th—15th! If they

do, please congratulate them on working hard in class so that they could come and shop.

Because the Boyd Holiday shop is run entirely on donations, if you have any gently used

household items that you would like to contribute, we would love that. We appreciate

your donations, but would prefer no toys or clothing. Or if you have some time you

would like to donate and you are a district approved volunteer, please contact Mrs.

Puterbaugh at 972-272-0821 or email her at

Marisol_puterbaugh@allenisd.org

The goal of the Holiday Excellence Store is to provide an oppor-

tunity for students to make purchases based on their good behav-

ior. There is one rule – students are not allowed to buy gifts for

themselves. We want to teach our students that it is better to give

than receive ….especially at this time of year.

Boyd Artists at Work

WHAT’S FOR LUNCH? BLACKHAWK CAFÉ IS NOW OPEN!

Science Fair is just around the corner! Did you formulate

a good hypothesis? Then you are ready to get

busy on your experiment! Make sure you rec-

ord all your data and take lots of pictures (but NO FACES ALLOWED!!). This will make it

much easier when you plan out and prepare your board for display.

Attention Kindergarten Families

AISD Gifted and Talented and Assessment Department will be coordinating upcoming CogAT testing at your cam-

pus. All AISD Kindergarten students will be administered a CogAT aptitude test during the weeks of November 29

Boyd Students Show that we CAN do it!

During the “Commitment to Community” food drive Boyd students and

staff went above and beyond to show their compassion. Our goal was to

collect 450 cans. When the final count was done we actually collected 788

CANS!! Thank you to our Boyd family for your generous contributions.

The food drive will provide Thanksgiving meals to families who otherwise

would not have a traditional Thanksgiving.

Once again, Boyd families show how much they CAN do for others!
