It is SURVEY Time!!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We would like to invite you to take our on-line Leader In Me Survey  to collect some data for our Leader In Me grant.  The link for you is provided below.  We are highly encouraging all parents to take part in this survey.  It is our hope that we have at least 250 parents take this survey and IF we do the school will be holding an organized dance party on Thursday, May 26 from 2:30-3:00.  Mr. D will be our  very own DJ.  So, please help our school reach the goal of 250 parents participating and provide our school with a little dancing fun!!!

Thank you to the PTA for a wonderful luncheon last week in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week.

Also thank you to the generous families that gave me a thoughtful card or gift for Teacher Appreciation Week.  I consider all of your children as my own.  Many times they even call me “mom” by mistake.  It is my honor and privilege to be their teacher this year and work with such wonderful families.

Our annual Snow School Picnic is coming up on June 10th.  The tradition is for each classroom to collect items to create a basket that will be raffled off at the picnic.  This year our class theme is “Gardening”.  Please donate any new items that could be added to our raffle basket:  gardening tools, gloves, seeds, decorations, ect.  The more donations we have, the better our basket will be!

The Color Run is today! Please have all kids who are participating pick up their prize bags/t-shirts at the registration table between 4:30-6. The event will start at 6pm. Please make sure you are wearing your white colorathon shirt and other clothing that you don’t mind getting blasted with color. It is recommended that you have some towels in the car to sit on for the ride home. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

 

If anyone is able to be at the school at 2pm to help with set up it would be greatly appreciated!

Dear Snow Community,

    As most of you know we have three very important events taking place in the last few weeks at Snow School.  On May 6 our leadership skills will be showcased in a Leadership Day that celebrates our accomplishments as a first year Leader in Me School.  District and community dignitaries will visit us for a student run exhibition of what Snow stands for.  On Thursday, May 26, Snow School will host a Clean Up Parade at 9:30 am.  On Friday, June 3, students and staff will participate in our annual Field Day.  

    To show our pride in our accomplishments and our commitment to our leadership program we are asking that all students and staff order a t-shirt that will be worn at these three events.  The t-shirts are just $5 each.  There is an order form coming home Thursday, April 21.  The form and money need to be at Snow NO LATER than Monday, April 25.  We apologize for the very short notice, but hope you are interested in making this vision of school unity a reality by having everyone in the same t-shirt at these events.  Questions or concerns can be asked of Jo Anne Zechar, in the art room, a phone message or email zecharj@dearbornschools.org.

    Thanks for your cooperation and initiative on the quick turnaround request.  To see everyone at Snow in the same light blue shirt that reads, “We are Snow, Leaders” with a howling wolf image will make us stand out as we celebrate our great achievements this year.
