We kicked off the year with cooperation skills at O.L. Smith.  Students have also been working on building upper and lower body muscle strength through push up and jump rope skills.

Another demonstration of the student talent and great programs at Dearborn Public Schools.  The Dearborn High School Choir entertained Christmas Brunch attendees at the Dearborn Country Club this weekend!  All of those present clapped along and enjoyed the Christmas Carols and the Choir put a smile on everyone’s face.  Awesome Job!

On that note, I hope all of your families have a beautiful holiday and may the blessings and joy of the season be with you and your families!

Peer to peer experience proves beneficial to all.

Swim and Fun in the Gym!!
After swimming, Nowlin students enjoyed lunch and afterward burned off some calories in the brand new gym opened at HYPE.

ASD students enjoying pool time during the swimming unit at O.L. Smith

Besides swimming and an enjoyable lunch the students had a tremendous time testing their skills in Wallyball.  A fun time for all!!

Another wonderful community experience at the Dearborn Public Schools Art Department and Park Place hosted annual Empty Bowls charity to support Gleaners Food Bank and Blessings in a Backpack, local charities that help feed the hungry.  Dearborn Public Schools students did not disappoint with the beautiful  bowl creations made by our Kindergarten to High School students.  It was a lot of fun and all the bowls were so nice, it was hard to choose which one to take home!!

It was great to go out in the community and see all stakeholders from students up to city officials get together to stand up against bullying in our schools.  Performances were given by elementary, middle, and high school students.  It was a fun event!

The Team having a great time on the opening day of our new swimming program.  This is a collaborative effort with the Dearborn Schools Special Education Department and Hype Athletics.  Everyone, students and adults alike, had a tremendous time and a fun learning experience using the pool at Western Wayne HYPE for our lesson.

Having a good time with Galen Duncan and my PE proteges.  Galen is the Detroit Lions Senior Director of Player Development and was our keynote speaker at the event.
