Parent Teacher Conferences are scheduled for November 12th, 18th, and 19th. Please make sure you have scheduled a time to meet and discuss your child’s progress so far this year.

On Friday, October 3oth we will have a small Halloween party. Students may dress up in costumes for school that day. Due to the limited space in bathrooms, students must wear their costume to school and will not be able to change during the day. No weapons, masks, or face paint are allowed. There is a sign up sheet in the hallway outside our classroom for families that would like to donate treats for our party. Everything is almost full. Thank you to the families that have signed up. Please only bring in what you sign up for, otherwise we have multiples of items and too much food left over. Remember that we are a “Peanut Free Classroom” so no peanuts please:) 

Friday, Oct. 16 is a half day of school for all Dearborn students. Elementary dismissal is at 11:45 AM. Teachers will be learning new things in professional development sessions in the afternoon.

The big game is this weekend. Get in on the friendly rivalry by wearing your favorite team’s jersey or colors tomorrow… Go Michigan! Go Michigan State!

Make A Wish Pumpkin Raffle: The Snow Staff will decorate small pie pumpkins for a very worthy cause! Pumpkins will be displayed in the lobby showcases. They will be on display on October 21 with NO ticket sales. Ticket sales will start on Thursday, October 22 and run through Thursday, October 29. Pumpkins will go home with the winners on Friday, October 30. Tickets will be on sale in the morning before school- in the lobby- or from me in the art room. We have done this the last three years and have generated a nice donation to Make A Wish. Not everyone wins a pumpkin, but every one that buys a ticket helps a charity provide a wonderful experience for a child in need of something special. Many thanks for your participation!
Empty Bowls Dinner: The Dearborn Art Department is hosting their 24th Annual Empty Bowls Dinner at Park Place. This event will take place on Monday, November 23rd, from 4 pm until 6:30 pm. The suggested donation for soup, bread and beverage is $5 per person, this includes a bowl to take home. There will be a raffle that includes many different items and baskets. Snow School will be providing a basket for the raffle. Proceeds from the dinner go to Gleaners Food Bank and Blessings in a Backpack. Support is greatly appreciated!

Pennies for Pasta coming to Snow School in November! We will be collecting coins/change/money for the Leukemia Foundation through a program called Pennies for Pasta. Each classroom will have a box to deposit their donations in. We start collecting Monday November 2 and stop on Tuesday, November 24. The class with the highest donation will win a lunch from Olive Garden (that will be enjoyed at Snow School). Start saving those coins!! Last year our winner was the first grade class of Mrs. Fakhoury-Nowak!! This year? hmmmmmm…………………

Don’t forget, tonight is the Monster Family Night at the Scholastic Book Fair from 5:30 to 7:00 pm. There will be special appearances by some frightfully fun monsters, along with a raffle, games, prizes and some delicious baked goodies for sale.
Also, if you haven’t already, please send in your spare change for the classroom contest. Whichever class collects the most change gets to turn Dr. Groover into a mummy!

Thank you!
