Bryant Middle School will once again participate in Pink Shirt Day.  Facilitated by students in an Enrichment class focused on leadership, there is a daily activity focused on anti-bullying.  Advisory classes will participate in these daily activities leading up to Pink Shirt Day on October 21st.  Please enjoy today’s student-made video:  the history of pink shirt day.

On October 11th and 12th, Dearborn High School student council members and Mrs. Osinski visited Lindbergh and Duvall for our Battle Against Hunger! Mrs. Daneen and Mr. Attee have been so supportive. On October 11th, Duvall students had already collected enough cans to fill more than one Gleaner box!

Not only are we thankful for Lindbergh and Duvall’s generosity, DHS kids were so honored to be able to visit our mini Pioneers!!

We held the first ever, district-wide college fair on September 20, 2016 from 6:30-8pm at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center.  Over 500 students and parents were in attendance and 65 different colleges, institutions and trade schools.  The energy in the Hubbard Ballroom was electric.  We look forward to hosting this event annually to help our students determine where they would like to attend school after graduation.

There are many ways for parents to get involved in their child’s school.  Each school has a variety of opportunities for parental involvement.  Children of parents who are involved:

• tend to get better grades and score higher on tests
• attend school regularly
• have better social skills
• get their homework done
• have a positive attitude about school
• are more likely to graduate high school and attend higher learning

College Fair Final (1)

As we begin our transition to the Michigan Science Standards, professional learning for our staff has begun.  Teachers spent the day beginning to explore the standards.  Using the 8 science and engineering practices will require our staff to teach differently.  This first day of professional learning was a good beginning.

Ford Community and Performing Arts Center

Representatives from colleges, universities, trade schools, law enforcement agencies and the armed forces will be present.

The Bryant National Junior Honor Society spent time volunteering at the Dearborn Animal Shelter.  Students assisted with spreading wood chips and visiting with the animals.

DuVall Elementary was able to collect and donate over 1,000 books to a local area women’s and children’s shelter in March as part of the Penguins Help a Friend Contest.  The books were enough to establish a library in the homeless shelter as well as add to other homeless shelter libraries.
