2.2.18

Hello Hoover Rockets,

The Winter Blast is tonight from 6:00-8:30!   Thank you to everyone who has donated items, cakes or more importantly their time.  This is such a amazing event for families.  We will have games, face painting, food and opportunities to win 4 Disney Park Hopper Passes, an autographed Lions football, a lottery basket full of lottery tickets and the Money Tree.   The baskets are looking good.  I did notice this morning that the MSU basket does have more items in it then the UM basket.  If you would like to see that change it is not too late to send in more items!

Kindergarten Registration has begun!
February 1 Kindergarten registration began for the 2018-2019 school year.  If you have a future kindergartner in your home or have neighbors who have a child who will be ready for Kindergarten, please pass the word to register early.  Registration information can be found at Kindergarten Registration.  The school district is offering this year a special Saturday registration as well at Riley Upper Elementary School on February 24th.

We look forward to welcoming parents of incoming kindergarten students on March 7, 2018 at our Kindergarten Parent Information Night and incoming kindergarten students and their parents at our Kindergarten Roundup/Orientation on May 31, 2018

Did you know that our Hoover Rockets received golf instruction this week from the Head Golf Professional Jay Rammler and the Assistant Professional, Justin Adams from Idyl Wyld Golf Course?  They taught students how to stand, swing and hold the putter.  Look out families our Hoover Rockets might get a hole in one the next time they go Putt Putt golfing. Thank you to Idyl Wyld Golf Course for instructing our Hoover Rockets!  If you golf at Idyl Wyld please thank them next you visit!
