Bright and early on Saturday, May 2nd, members of the BOLD High School National Honor Society traded sleeping in for garbage bags, hi-vis vests, and gloves as we tackled our 3-mile stretch of Hwy 7 near Lake Lillian for Adopt-A-Highway! Our NHS chapter has proudly cared for this section since 1990, and while picking up trash may not sound like the ultimate Saturday morning activity for high school students, our members always find ways to make it memorable. From teamwork and laughs to discovering some truly bizarre roadside treasures, it’s become a tradition full of fun and connection. This spring cleanup resulted in about 16 bags of trash collected which is helping keep our community clean, one mile at a time! #BOLDPride #NationalHonorSociety #AdoptAHighway #CommunityStrong
Greetings BOLD Community,
I don't have a lot of details to share this week, but I can answer some questions that have been burning in the minds of some.
Are there any penalties for delays built into our contract with Nexus?
The answer is no. However, Nexus is doing what they can to get this project done as quickly as possible.
What is the status of the gym floor in Bird Island?
According to the flooring company, FLR, it looks like it may be ok, but we are going to wait until the end of the summer to make that final determination. We want to see how the floor handles summer humidity.
If anyone would like to discuss anything in relation to the project, where we are, and why, please feel free to reach out.
Meanwhile, tonight is the last night to check out "Leaving Iowa!
Take care everyone,
Tim

Elementary Yearbooks have been distributed! If you missed out on
ordering one and would like one, we have a limited amount of extras.
These will be on a first come first serve basis. The cost is $16.
We are so grateful to the area businesses who have spoiled our teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week with treats! Your generosity and support mean so much and help make our staff feel valued. Thank you for taking such great care of our educators—we appreciate you!
Retirement Party for Gayle Grimm ECSE Teacher - 19 years of service.
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
If you are feeling thankful for a positive impact a teacher has had on your life, this is a great week to show that appreciation.
In other news, the board approved May 21st as a non-instructional day, so the last day of school is now May 20th. There will still be an early release at 1 pm.
Please reach out with any questions you may have about this.

Greetings BOLD Community,
Thank you to the amazing turnout for the spring music performance in the big gym yesterday. Seeing that kind of community support was inspiring. It won't be long now, and we will be able to use the new main entrance to get in that gym.
We will find out Tuesday what the ultimate verdict is on the Bird Island gym floor. Servpro is still working to get everything completely dry.
We did find out that we will NOT need to replace any walls in the elementary classrooms. The experts from IEA have determined that once we fix the condensate tank for the boilers, the steam leaks will no longer occur.
The custodians have been and will continue to do extra duty, painting, and waxing floors, to help get the interior of the building looking good and maintained.
Take care everyone,
Tim
