Reading with your child is a proven way to promote early literacy. One of the most important things you can do to prepare your child for his/her future is helping to make sure that your child is reading at grade level by third grade. You can influence your child's success in school by making reading a daily routine in your home. Research shows that students who read at least 20 minutes per day score in the 90th percentile on standardized tests. Do you want to help your child to be successful in school? They simply need to read. Keep reading over Winter Break!

SAVE THE DATE 4th Grade Music Concert
Our 4th Grade Hoover Rockets will be singing with the Stevenson Choir on Wednesday, January 16th at the Stevenson Performing Arts Center at 7:00 p.m.
Did you know that our 4th grade students had an Owl Pellet Presentation last week? The students were informed about the many physical characteristics of owls that help them survive, about which owls are found in Michigan, and heard the recorded calls of many owls. They played a couple owl related games (This is a competitive class!) and then dissected their owl pellets. The students were surprised at the number of bones they found and were challenged to identify the bones and which animal they came from. It was a great morning of learning! 
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 Feb. 22nd.
Projects are due 3/22 and the
ceremony is 4/25 @ Franklin High School.
Winter Blast
Hoover’s Winter
Blast will quickly be approaching after the holiday break. Friday, February 1st from 6 pm-8:30 pm, come and have some
indoor fun with your Hoover family at our Winter Blast. Tickets can be
purchased in advance to play carnival type games, food, and entries for baskets
raffles. Some of the themed baskets to be raffled off are: Disney (complete
with park tickets), Michigan State, University of Michigan, Sports, Family Game
Night, Movie Night, Lottery Tickets, Money Tree, and Arts & Crafts to name
a few. At the end of the night turn your
prize token tickets into our prize room and pick from a variety of fun prizes.
Last year full size basketballs were a huge hit from the prize room.
This FUN event
will not be able to happen and run efficiently without our AMAZING Hoover
community coming together to make this night a success for our Rockets. There
will be many opportunities to help from donations, set-up, helping throughout
the event, to clean-up. If you have children in 7th grade or higher who need service hours or just want
to make a difference in their community, we would love to have them help with
running the games. Also volunteers must be 18 or older to work in the kitchen.
Please stay tuned for more information as well as a signup genius to come out
for volunteers and donations.
Thank you so much to our AMAZING HOOVER COMMUNITY for making the first half of our school year such a success. We are truly grateful and appreciate your continued support. From donating items to our PTA events, volunteering your time during Hoot-n-Howl and Holiday Shop, generously giving money to the Hoover Helping Hearts Fund, signing your students up for Nuts About Science, and being a parent helper in the science class, volunteering at our Welcome Table and in the lunchroom as a PAL, supporting Kids Night Out, the Dearborn Brand Meats fundraiser. These are just a few of the many things YOU do as a community to help make Hoover such a fantastic school for our ROCKETS. We want these precious years at Hoover to be a memorable experience for all. We hope you all have a wonderful and RELAXING holiday break with family and friends. We will see you all in 2019.
