Then the 3rd, 4th, & 5th grade students will sing some songs followed by a Recorder Playoff.  Who will be the last person standing on the risers at the end?  We will end the evening with a performance by our 5th grade Band and Violin students.  

Please have students dress nicely (however, keep in mind that the students are sitting on the floor when they are not performing) and have them at the school by 5:45 p.m.  They will sit in concert line order on the gym floor.

Popcorn Friday

Color Run forms due Monday, May 6. This is a fundraiser for our school please participate!

This is our school’s BIGGEST fundraiser!

This money pays for things like trunk or treat, science teachers to come in and teach hands on lessons, parties for the classroom, supplies needed for teachers, and so much more!

Please have your child ask aunts, uncles, grandma, grandpa, neighbors, close friends. Money adds up quickly!

We are reaching out with an ask regarding  our MLUP process.  We need help spreading the word about the available survey- that we need everyone in Dearborn’s to provide their input. !

We are writing to share 3 updates on the City’s Master Land Use Plan project: 

1. The survey has been extended to May 5. We currently have over 450 responses and would love to reach closer to 1,000.
     Please continue to encourage your peers, friends, neighbors, and kids to take it at www.plandearborn.org. You could just forward this email, or share the flyer attached. 

2. We are also hosting listening events on April 29 and May 2 at a variety of places in Dearborn: Fordson High School, O.L. Smith Middle School, Salina Elementary School, Centennial Library, and the Arab American National Museum.
    These will be focused on neighborhoods, and help inform future land use in Dearborn. Please see the flyer below with complete details and specific event dates/times. There is a virtual option for folks unable to attend on those dates.
    No need to RSVP, and people can show up anytime during the events !   

3. We extend our thanks to everyone who has participated in the process so far! We’re very grateful for your ideas, time, and passion for Dearborn. It shows in the survey responses and feedback to date. 

The City of Dearborn is undertaking a Master Land Use Plan Update and we need your help getting the word out to the community to complete the survey and to attend the community meetings to have their voices heard and get more information.
