WELCOME TO BALBOA MIDDLE SCHOOL
OUR MISSION
Balboa Middle School will educate all students in a safe, nurturing and stimulating learning environment. In partnership with families and our school community we will build academic skills, foster social-emotional learning, honor the diversity of students, inspire students to achieve their personal best and encourage students to lead healthy and productive lives.
WINTER COAT DRIVE | Cheers for Children
Our theme this month is GENEROSITY. In keeping with the theme, we are running a Coat Drive at Balboa! Bring your gently used coats and jackets for those who need one. All sizes are accepted. Your generosity will keep someone warm this season!
Also, we ask that you find it in your hearts to donate to “Cheers for Children”. This year, instead of canned food, we are asking you to reach deep into your pockets, book bags, and pocketbooks for any spare change to donate. Ms. Cook will have a donation jar, in room 16, to collect you pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and/or bills! Drop by room 16 this week to make your donations. Thank you for your generosity and your example of Explorer Excellence!
