Howe Green Team

Meeting is in Mrs. Keebler’s room from 3:40 to 5:00

Hi Green Teamers,

Green Team is having another sale, see below.  I have one mom helper and I could use another mom and a couple of kids to stay after school for a while during conferences.  I will be doing conferences so if your child is staying I would need a parent to stay with them.  Here are the details.  Be sure to watch Arian and Waad in the video!

Crazy Crayons sale – the Green Team will be selling Crazy Crayons after school and during conferences on Thursday.  These are made of recycled crayons.  Please help support Green Team and save the earth by buying recycled crayons.  We will also have an order sheet if you would like to order some for gifts. Thanks for your support.  Watch our video explaining Crazy Crayons:

Our next meeting is Monday, November 20th.

Hi Green Teamers!

We will need to meet on Mondays in November.    Meetings are next Monday, November 6th and Monday November 20th.

At this meeting we will be creating some public service announcement videos.

Volunteers needed – We are going to start recycling crayons and I have found a company called Crazy Crayons that takes the recycled crayons and turns them into new crayons.  I thought it would be fun for the students to see the whole cycle of recycling and to sell the Crazy Crayons during the Parent – Teacher conferences.  I need to know if there are any parents that would be willing to help the Green Teamers sell Crazy Crayons on November 9th, 15th or 16th during part of the conference times?  Please email me and let me know if you can help, the time and day you are available.

Congratulations!  We had a successful bake sale and raised $221.26.  More than enough money to help save the Black Jaguar $55 and pay $16 for the supplies to make the recycle bins at the last meeting.  We will be using the rest of the money for our activities this year.  Thank you to everyone who donated, purchased and helped with the sale!

Next meeting will be on MONDAY, November 6th because there is no school on the 7th.  We will also have to meet on MONDAY, November 20th, so we can go home right away on the 21st when our Thanksgiving break starts.

I need all Green Teamers to please bring some baked good or pizza to sell.  Please bring baked goods to the office kitchen.  Parent helpers needed for set up and clean up.

Set up will be outside the gym at 3:15.  Students need to find their sign and use it to advertise the sale, I’ll need students at both the front and back doors asking people to come to the sale and students at the table selling.  Parent helpers needed to help the students.

We will have our Green Team meeting in my classroom after the sale.  Please pick up by 5 PM in my classroom.  I have decided we will stay in my classroom and wait until parents arrive.

I need all Green Team parents to sign up for the Green Team blog.  Go to iblog.dearbornschools.org/howegreenteam and subscribe.  This will be my way of communicating about meetings and what items are needed.

Hi Green Teamers,

We had a great meeting today.  The kids voted on which endangered animal we would adopt this year.  We made signs for our bake sale to raise money to help save the Black Jaguar and for other Green Team activities this year.  The bake sale will be in 2 weeks.

The forms I sent before were restricted to Dearborn Public Schools users only.  I have changed that and you should be able to use them now.  Please fill out both form in the previous 2 posts.

Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

Our field trip is tomorrow.  I need a parent volunteer to get a pizza or two and bring it to the school at 3:15.  I need volunteers to watch the students in the cafeteria as they eat before we leave. We only have 6 students who signed up to eat pizza so we have collected $12.

Please make sure that you have someone who can transport your child to UM Dearborn and pick them up if you can’t stay.

Please dress so that you can get messy and maybe wet (hopefully it will not rain, there is only a 20% chance.)

It should be a great trip.

Please email me if you have any questions.

We will be doing a special Mom’s day project.  Wear something you can get messy in.
