Hoover Martians and Artists

Hello Hoover Rockets,

Congratulation to the Hoover students, parents, grandparents and siblings who ran/walked in the Martian Marathon last week.

Hoover had 14 people from the Hoover community that included staff, parents, or older sibling that participated in the 5K or 10K events.

We had the largest group (121 students) registered for the Kids Martian Marathon.

Everyone met at Dearborn's Ford Field Park where they did a large group warm-up before moving to the start line for the 1.2 mile race. The students logged 25 miles with their families before the day in order to complete an entire marathon (25 + 1.2 = 26. 2 miles for a marathon)

This event is a culmination of our February Heart Month Celebration and is one of the classroom extensions offered through our Physical Education Program. Congratulations Hoover Rockets, Staff and especially Mr. O.

It was great to see all the amazing art work last night! A huge thank you to Mrs. Gordon. She spends weeks preparing for the show and organizing all of our student's projects. The school looks beautiful!

considered successful.

arts and artists.
