Howe Green Team

Bring your endangered animals to trade. We will be creating our new bulletin board for our endangered animals we adopted this year. They have ARRIVED!

Here is a picture of Ana and Amir from 5th grade after being sworn in as Junior City Beautiful commissioners. They are with the mayor, other City Beautiful commissioners, Mrs. Alcodray and Mrs. Keebler.

Today, Amir and Ana we’re sworn in as this year’s new Junior City Beautiful commissioners at the City Beautiful breakfast. We got our picture taken with the mayor which will be sent to us soon. We are a nice breakfast and got to listen to several interesting speeches. The mayor’s speech was the most interesting. Did you know that the mayor walks a different neighborhood each week with his staff picking up trash and looking for problems that need to be solved? Did you know that the mayor is planning to install rain gardens and all the neighborhoods of Dearborn in the median between the sidewalk and the street?

Please pick up by 4:30 at the office door near the playground. We will spend more time in the garden send glove and small and large clippers if you have them. We didn’t have enough clippers for everyone last time so more would be welcome. Parent volunteers are welcome. We need to winterize the garden and search for any last chrysalises that we can save until spring.

Volunteers needed:

1 volunteer to help students do recycling once a week.

1 volunteer to return bottles and cans to the store and give money to Green Team for projects.

Please email me at keeblek@dearbornschools.org if you can volunteer.

This week 10/2 – Please pick up promptly at 4:30 at the office door near the playground.
