Today….5/15/18

Reminder tomorrow is a Late Start-5/16/18 Read below info about Spring Planting and the Clean-Up Parade. Just a reminder that Spring flower-planting scheduled for today and Wednesday will be rescheduled! The weather was calling for storms today, so we’ll plant flowers when the forecast is brighter. New dates will be announced as soon as they’re determined.  Thank you for your flexibility. The good news is that Thursday, May 17th, looks like a beautiful day for the Clean-Up Parade!  The City Beautiful Commission is asking students to design and make their own posters or banners to carry in the parade and to wear their Lindbergh shirts or school colors.  The theme this year is Dearborn Pride:  Clean-up, Paint-up, Fix-up.  Please have posters and banners at school by Wednesday, May 16th.  The parade begins on Thursday at 1:30 PM at the school!

Dearborn is excited to host a STEAM Solutions Vendor Expo at EFHS on Tuesday, June 5, 2:45-6:00 PM. There’s a whole world of new and fabulous STEAM solutions out there!  All Dearborn schools (PK-12) are invited to form a  team of administrators and teachers to participate in hands-on demonstrations of STEAM-related software and programs, including virtual reality (zSpace), LEGO and STMath. This Expo will support our STEAM Vision Committee that you were all invited recently to join. Hope to see you at either or both events!

Tomorrow 5/15/18- 5th FULL BAND.
