Sunny and warm weather is here! As part of Snow Elementary Leader In Me Program, we are asking you, our fabulous students, to reach out in our community to help others. If you’d like to be a part of the May Plant-Up Club, simply volunteer to help plant-up a neighbor’s, relative’s or your very own yard. “Plant-up” could include helping plant flowers, vegetables, or preparing garden beds for future flowers and veggies. Please be sure to have a parent with you and get permission of the community member before planting up. You are giving back to the community, so please offer to do this free of cost.

Each time you help “plant-up” someone’s yard, write the date and color a square on the chart given to you by your classroom teacher. Once you have helped 5 times in the community, please return this chart to Ms. Krawczyk, Mrs. Bush or Mrs. Grizzell for acknowledgement of your leadership and kindness.

A special thank you to all students who have helped so far: Aasim M., Farah F., Zoe D., Hasan, Kayla J., Ahmad J., Molly S., Ryan R. and Ahmad A.

I messed up on what group was up for Art Club yesterday! To remedy this- both the BLUE and the WHITE groups are welcome to come on the following weeks: May 10, May 17, May 24 and May 31! May 31 is the last meeting of Art Club this year. Sorry for the mistake and thanks for the understanding!!

Dear Snow School Community: our annual Field Day this year is Friday, June 9. We are offering everyone the opportunity to purchase a Field Day t-shirt to be worn on that day. You might consider buying the shirt slightly larger than needed right now so that it can be worn for a while. Parents are welcome to purchase shirts, too!
Our Field Day shirts are only $5! If you need a size from 2XL up there is an additional charge, please see the order form.
We ask that you fill out one order sheet per child as the color of the shirt changes for early elementary (Preschool-3rd grade) and upper elementary (4th and 5th grades). There is a Volunteer option, too.
Preschool through third grade will wear RED shirts
4th and 5th grades will wear IRISH GREEN shirts
Volunteers will wear SAFETY GREEN (like a neon yellow- green)
***If you would like to volunteer to help out please email zecharj@dearbornschools.org or moyerm@dearbornschools.org and we will send you home a shirt order form. You can also send in a note to either person and we will respond. Eventually there will be a Sign Up Genius for volunteering. The Field Day, June 9, is Preschool through 3rd grade before lunch, 4th and 5th grades after lunch.
Please fill out the form and return it with CASH by MAY 25! No late orders, re-orders, exchanges or returns. Orders can be given to Mrs. Zechar or Mr. Moyer.
Thanks! Mrs. Zechar and Mr. Moyer

Hi. All STEAM classes are either in the process of or are going to make a kite. My plan is to fly them in a future STEAM class once they are ready. Students might want to have their own kite string to fly at school. I have some but the students will need to take turns with it. Anyone that has their own string will just be able to fly the entire time. I am planning on flying kites the week of May 1-5 for all STEAM classes EXCEPT kindergarten- we are starting this week.
