🧹❤️ Happy National Custodian Day! ❤️🧹

Today we’re giving a HUGE shoutout to our amazing custodial staff! They are here early, stay late, and do so much more than simply keep our building clean. They help in countless ways to keep our school clean, safe, welcoming, and ready for our students and staff each day.

From the everyday messes to the unexpected curveballs, they are always willing to jump in and help wherever they’re needed. A clean and well-cared-for school doesn’t happen by accident—it takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and behind-the-scenes effort.

Thank you for all you do, day in and day out! We appreciate you more than you know! 💪❤️🖤

Picture Day
BOLD students and staff have been enjoying our new SSR Book Club time! After first hour ends, they have 20 minutes scheduled JUST for reading! They may read any book of their choice whether it be for fun or for schoolwork. The quiet enjoyment has been notable through the building. This peaceful time is also helping everyone explore the pleasures of a good book and reduce screen time.

We are grateful for the many book donations that we have received. This has helped our students have a wealth of choices of what they can read for SSR time!

Greetings BOLD Community,

The first week of school has come and gone, and it was not without challenges. Our kitchen situation posed the majority of those challenges, and we appreciate everyone's patience as we worked out the issues.

Nexus has assured us that the kitchen will be fully functional on Monday, so we can expect the excellence in our food service to which we have grown accustomed over the years.

We applaud the extra efforts of our kitchen crew and the mental fortitude they have maintained through these suboptimal times. They will be persevering through less than ideal conditions until our new kitchen is ready, which is now estimated for mid-December.

Many are concerned about the current and impending elements making transport of food from the kitchen trailer to the cafeteria difficult. Nexus is aware, and they are thinking of ways to shelter the route from the trailer to the cafeteria.

Please be kind to our food service crew, as they did not ask for these conditions. We are grateful to them for their daily dedication to feeding our students.

In other news, we have taken on some water in a couple of areas during Friday's deluge, but roofers will be on the roof Monday morning to make sure all our leaks are sealed.

Aside from these issues, we have our students back, our staff back, and our friendly workers, many of whom we have come to know and love throughout their long journey with us.

Thursday night was a glorious night in BOLD sports, as our football and volleyball teams were victorious over their respective opponents. The Red Kingdom is rising from the dust, from our little warriors in Pre-K learning the ropes of school life to our veteran seniors, who model every day what they have learned along the way.

No one can say that we've had it easy at BOLD over the last couple of years, and no one can say that those of us in the BOLD community are not Warriors. We learn, we compete, we grow, we persevere, and we celebrate our successes alongside our BOLD comrades.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. There is certainly more to the story than can reasonably be captured in an email or social media post, and I am always happy to talk with anyone who would like to learn more.

Take care everyone,

Tim

BOLD will be open tomorrow, and we will be serving lunch, so it will be a full day.

Due to our inability to serve a safe lunch today, we will be sending students home before lunch. Students will be dismissed from school at 11:55 am today, and buses will be picking students up.

We apologize for the inconvenience and will do everything in our power to make sure this does not happen again.

It pains me to inform students, parents, and staff that we will need to send our students home at 11:55 am today due to our inability to provide school lunch.

The health inspector paid us a visit yesterday, and he found a number of issues that still need to be addressed in the portable kitchen. Some of them were addressed yesterday, but not everything could be fixed in time for us to prepare lunch today.

We were led to believe that we would have a fully functional kitchen by yesterday, but that is simply not the reality.

There is no time for a plan B, so we have no choice but to send our students home before lunch.

Thank you Margaret and crew, for doing everything you could with the hand we've been dealt.

PreK conferences will still be happening today.

I apologize for this no doubt very sudden and extreme inconvenience. We will continue to work hard today on making sure our kitchen is good to go tomorrow.

Please contact me with questions or concerns.

🚨 THE NIGHT BEFORE SCHOOL! 🚨

Warriors, the halls are ready, the staff is ready, and we are READY to see your faces tomorrow! ❤️🖤

The parking lot will be open for students to park, and staff will be out and about to answer questions, help with those “Ummm…where am I supposed to go?” moments, and make sure everyone gets where they need to be.

And while our 7–12 students are getting back into the swing of things, our K–6 teachers are gearing up for two days of conferences and are excited to meet their students and families before their Wednesday start!

So grab your backpack, set that alarm (maybe set TWO 😉), and get ready…

THE WAIT IS OVER. IT’S GO TIME, WARRIORS! 🎉🏫
Let’s make it a GREAT first day! ❤️🖤

Greetings BOLD Community,

Although there was still a lot of construction work and clean up happening during the Open House yesterday, we are ready for classes to start on Monday morning. It has taken herculean efforts by everyone involved to get this ship ready to sail, but we are ready.

Despite the daunting challenges of the weeks leading up to September 14th, I feel inspired going into this school year. The interactions I have been having with staff have been student centered, and the passion that staff have for our students comes out in the conversations I have with them.

I know there have been concerns about our kitchen and cafeteria situation. We have been very concerned as well. Although our solution to not having a finished kitchen and cafeteria is far from ideal, we have the best solution that we were able to put together.

There is a portable kitchen trailer on the North end of the building, right next to the wrestling room. The city of Olivia got it hooked up to the electrical power it needs right away, but a few other issues came up that we have been addressing over the past week. The trailer was delivered with utility issues that rendered it non-functional, but those issues are being fixed and will be finished up today.

The cooks have been working hard all week cleaning and setting up the wrestling room to get it ready to be our makeshift cafeteria. It looks great! It even has AC, as Nexus put in an industrial, portable AC unit in there for us. It feels very clean and cool in there right now.

There have been some valid concerns about the wrestling season coming up. We have been assured that the new cafeteria, at least, will be ready to move into by November 1, so the wrestlers will have that space back in time for wrestling season.

If you came to Open House yesterday, you may have been alarmed by all the work still being done in the North end of the building. As we demonstrated at this time last year, a lot can be done in a short amount of time with a dedicated staff willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. This is exactly what is happening and will continue to happen throughout the weekend.

I know that may be hard for the Open House crowd to believe, but if you are struggling with it, please come by on Monday and see for yourself! We can't wait to have our students back. We are ready. We are the Red Kingdom!

Have a good weekend everyone,

Tim

We’ve already kicked things off with some staff training, planning, and plenty of getting-ready-for-students work. There’s lots happening behind the scenes as we get everything ready for another great year!

Most importantly… we are SO excited to see our students! We’ve missed the energy, the laughter, and all the excitement they bring to our halls.
