On Tuesday, March 2nd, Bloomer Elementary hosted a literacy event honoring Dr. Seuss’s Birthday along with the annual book fair. This year’s activities brought in approximately 100 families and raised approximately $4000.00 for the purchase of new books for our library.
Activities at the evening event included: face painting, crafts, reader’s theatre presented by Bloomer fifth graders, snacks, fantastic prizes and more! Bloomer families also had opportunity to read Dr. Seuss books with one of the four Domesti-Pup teams that attended the event. These dogs have been trained and have passed a test so that they can be canine good citizens. All in all it was a successful evening that benefited all of our students! Students Advance to Invent Iowa Competition Six Council Bluffs inventors are among those who will be competing at the Invent Iowa competition on April 24th at the Unviersity of Iowa.

The band will also be attending several music and sightseeing events while in New York, including a concert at the Lincoln Center Jazz Center and the Broadway show "Mary Poppins" at the New Amsterdam Theatre. The students have been fundraising for two years in order to participate in this event. The trip is sponsored by the ALHS band parents and the band director is Terry Hanzlik, PhD. Board of Education Approves Elementary School Boundaries for 2011-12 On Tuesday, February 23rd, the Board of Education approved a proposal to change the current elementary school boundaries for the 2011-12 school year. The goal in creating new boundaries is to help ensure all students in the Council Bluffs Community School District are educated in modern school facilities that are efficient and offer well-rounded opportunities for all students. The changes will mean some students who now live in the Hoover, Gunn, Bloomer and Washington attendance areas would be assigned to attend different schools in the fall of 2011. Prompting the discussion and new boundary proposal was the decision to open a new elementary school at the intersection of Valley View Drive and College Road in the eastern part of the school district in August of 2011. Students now attending Gunn, Hoover and Bloomer live in the part of the district closest to the new school. At a future meeting, the Board will be considering official action to close two elementary schools -- Gunn and Washington -- at the end of next school year (May of 2011). Parent meetings are being scheduled to discuss the proposal and answer questions. Under the proposal, Gunn students would be assigned to attend the newly-renovated Hoover, the new school on College Road, Lewis & Clark or Crescent, depending on where they live. Washington students would be assigned to attend Bloomer, Lewis & Clark or Hoover. Parent requests to have their child(ren) attend a school other than the one assigned will be granted as long as space allows to maintain reasonable class sizes. Parents who request transfers to other schools will be responsible for transportation. Link to Q&A for Washington Boundary Changes
