Hello Hoover Rockets,
Thanksgiving Break
Next week there will be no school Wednesday-Friday for Thanksgiving Break.  We hope your family has a great holiday.
Hoover Coat Drive
We are still collecting gently used and new coats for the Clothing Depot.  They are in need of kids coats!  Don't forget to empty those pockets.


Come Join Daisy's
Daisy Troop 77142 met for the first time last week. Any kindergarten girls that would be interested in joining can visit the Girl Scout website (GSSEM.org) and register with the troop number 77142. The troop meets twice a month, on Thursday evenings, at Hoover. New families will be contacted by a troop leader, shortly after registration. 
Did you know Mrs. Bice and Mrs. Broome were awarded a grant for the Livonia Public Schools Education Foundation last week?  We will be purchasing a Social Emotional Learning Curriculum for Kindergarten, First and Second Grade.  




WALK-A-THON WINNER LUNCHEON & CLASS AWARDS
The PTA treated the Walk-a-Thon top earning students from each grade to lunch with a staff member of their choice. They all enjoyed lunch in the community room sharing wonderful conversation. After personally thanking the students for their support, they also received a small gift as a token of our appreciation. In addition, the PTA paid a visit to all the top earning classrooms from each grade and awarded the Teacher with a $100.00 bill to do something special for the class. Hearing the kids cheer about winning was fantastic!
