NATIONAL PTA REFLECTIONS CONTEST: We have received TWO entries so far and would love a couple more. Is your Hoover Rocket a visual artist, photographer, writer, dancer, musician, or film maker? Then keep reading because the PTA has a program for them!! Students make projects that are inspired by a theme. This year’s theme is “Heros Around Me.” They can make a project in as many categories as they want. It is free to enter!! This is the 50th Anniversary of the National PTA’s Reflections Contest and we are excited to offer it at Hoover. LPTSA will judge all the entries from Livonia Public Schools. They will choose four winners in each age range and category. Then they send those winners on to be judged at the state level. Top winners at the state level go on to national judging. The deadline to turn in projects is November 14, 2018. Please contact our Hoover PTA Reflections Chair, Christina Testa, Christina.testa.80@gmail.com, if you would like information.
Upcoming Community Fundraisers: Mark your calendars Five Below November 23-December 9th. Watch for more details to come home soon. Thank you in advance for your support.
Holiday Parade: The Livonia Holiday Parade will be Sunday, December 2nd starting at 4 pm. Groups are expected to participate by representing their organization in a festive way. Whether it be dressing up, making a banner, or building a float, all organizations are to distinguish themselves in the most festive way possible to be recognized. The staging area will begin at 2:45 pm at Frost Middle School. The Hoover PTA is looking for another great group of Hoover Families to walk together in the parade. A sign-up-genius will be sent out in mid-November, for people to sign up to participate. Please contact Carmin Haylock at carminhaylock@yahoo.com if you would like to help plan this event for Hoover Elementary or with any questions.
