Hello Hoover Rockets,

Hoover has become a Winter Wonderland.  Thank you to our wonderful lobby decorators and window painters!  








Kids Night Out

Kids Night Out was another huge success!  We had over 100 students attend this year!  They enjoyed dinner, bowling with Mr. "O", a craft and a movie with popcorn.  Thank you to our PTA for another amazing event.

Holiday Shop

Our Hoover Rockets enjoyed shopping for loved ones last week at the Holiday Shop.  Thank you to all the volunteers who made this possible.
Mrs. Flak's class shopping.

Did you know that Hoover has 30 Student Council students that take turns working in the Rocket Pad (School Store)?They were busy this week with our Candy Cane Sale.  The funds from the Candy Cane sale will be donated to a good cause.  The students will vote on an organization that is special to Hoover.  Thank you for supporting the Hoover Student Council.

Cookies can be dropped off at school on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 19 and 20 - all day, or Thursday, December 21- before school only.

Youth Making a Difference
Youth Making a Difference is a program that encourages and recognizes volunteer efforts by K-12 students. Livonia PTSA Council recognizes the efforts of these students at the annual Youth Making a Difference celebration in April. Some students, among other things, visit senior citizens, help collect money for the Livonia Goodfellows, or rake leaves and pick up trash outside their schools or community. This program and celebration is a great way for our children to learn how important it is to give back to our community. The commitment forms are due back Jan 30th. Projects are due 2/28 and the ceremony is 4/24 @ Franklin High School.
