Fundraiser for 5th Grade Camp

Yes, it's that time!  We all need to start contributing to the funds needed for 5th grade camp. The goal is for all to attend by raising as much money as possible and keeping the bottom line cost down as low as possible.  There was a note that went home last week regarding the first fundraiser.  The students were asked to bring $1.00 in by Monday.  I have received some, but still need much more.  Please remind your students to bring that in ASAP.

Ford Field & Haiti

WOW!  What an experience we all had today!   The students were awed by the Lions Quarterback Matthew Stafford who answered some questions the kids had on eating and exercising. Jalib shook his hand and vowed to never wash that hand!  We'll be anxiously awaiting the outcome of that vow:)  There were many cameras, video cameras, several news reporters, and plenty of PR for the Lions.  I saw our kids on Channel 2 at 5:00 tonight running, jumping, and laughing.  Ask your student what they learned from the day.


We also had a speaker from Haiti in Village during the afternoon.  He described his experience during the earthquake last year, and how difficult it has been to recover from the devastation, focusing on the differences between what are students have and what they are working on to provide for students in Haiti. But, what he inspired in the kids was the believe that they can accomplish whatever they set out to do in life no matter what obstacles, as long as they dream it and believe in it.  Thank you to all those students who brought in loose change to send to the children in Haiti to help rebuild their schools.
