Let it snow!!!

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 Snow Shoveling Club, simply volunteer to shovel a neighbor’s, relatives or your very own driveway and sidewalk. Please be sure to have a parent with you and get permission of the community member before shoveling. You are giving back to the community, so please offer to do this free of cost.

Each time you shovel someone’s snow, color a square on the chart sent home. Once you have helped 5 members in the community, please return the chart to Mrs. Grizzell for acknowledgement of your leadership and kindness.

Thank you!

Please send in photos, articles, artifacts, write ups, etc., showcasing the accomplishments of our Snow students! I am going to be changing the display in January and would love to show off more of the great things our students are doing! Thanks.

Hi. The Lobby will soon become a “Wolf Den”. Students will be making trees, rocks, etc. to enhance our space. We are looking for any artificial trees that might get thrown out after the holidays. Any tree- big, small, tiny, medium, fat, skinny, etc., is eligible. Please let me know if you have one or someone you know does. I can pick them up or you can drop them off at school. Questions? Please email me zecharj@dearbornschools.org or call school, 313-827-6250, and I will get back to you. Spread the word. Tons of thanks!!

This month, our special education staff discussed with our students the importance of Person First Language. When we are communicating with and about people with disabilities, we should always use Person First Language. This form of language places emphasize on the person, NOT the disability. All people have individualized goals, interests, and abilities, whether they have a disability or not. Person First Language allows us to look at these individual characteristics rather than the disability. An example of Person First Language is “child with autism” rather than “autistic child.” Raising awareness for this type of language will ensure that ALL students feel comfortable and valued at our school.

Sure do appreciate your concerns and good thoughts, nothing too bad at this point. Have two family members going through rough patches which in turn makes it rough on the rest of us. Thanks so MUCH!!
