I will be showing a short movie and passing out informaton regarding this years event the week of 11/16. I will be including first grade for the first time this year. All students in grades 1-5 will participate but to receive a free sticker I need their permission slip returned. I will send home the date the money envelopes are due or the on line donations are due. This is a great fundraiser to teach our students about heart health and community service.
Congratulations to Ms. Kerby’s class for earning the most points during the first card marking period demonstrating outstanding listening, following directions, and sportsmanship. The trophy was awarded to Ms. Kerby this past Monday.
My classes will start a new board for the second card marking period.
In December grades 2-5 will participate in our school’s 20th straight Jump Rope for Heart. Jump Rope for Heart is a fundraiser for the American Heart Association to help educate and research the heart. There will be flyers/handouts sent home in November.
In January all grades will participate in “Bowl for Life”. This program provides basic information about bowling and bowling etiquette that can be used at a real bowling alley. Bowling is a lifetime skill that can be used by all age groups.
Congratulations to all of our participants for braving the cold and demonstrating great effort and sportsmanship. All of our runners will receive a ribbon for their hard work. DuVall’s top runner this year was Rawan Nourredine who finished in 5th place for the 5th grade girls. I would like to thank all of the parents for being there for your children providing great support and encouragement before, during, and after the race. A special thank you to Mr. Attee for all of his help during the race and helping me find my keys after the race.
All DuVall shirts should be returned on Thursday for a team photo which I will purchase for each member.
If you go to the Dearborn Public Schools website they have a link to get the results from the race.
Thanks to all involved.
Dear parents,
Make sure your child arrives at least 20 minutes prior to their start time to warm up and stretch. Meet your child at finish line to congratulate them on a job well done.At this time you and your child are free to go unless they finished in top ten. Please wash jersey and return it on Thursday October 22nd for a team picture. Thanks again for supporting your child at this event.
