Dear Hoover Rockets,

We celebrated our Hoover Volunteers this week at the Volunteer Tea on Wednesday.  Ongoing research shows that family engagement in schools improves student achievement, reduces absenteeism, and maintains parents’ confidence in their children’s education. Students with involved parents or other caregivers earn higher grades and test scores, have better social skills, and show improved behavior.
Each of our Volunteers have made a difference in the lives of our 503 Hoover Rockets.  Thank you for all you do!
On a daily basis we see family members, business partners, neighbors, retired teachers, staff family members and friends here volunteering which creates a warm, friendly, fun, positive community.  Recently a visitor to Hoover shared that she had been in a lot of schools and none felt as positive, welcoming and friendly at Hoover.  Each of you makes this possible.  Every day I look forward to coming to Hoover. As I am driving I am thinking about how much I enjoy the people here and the relationships, the interactions, the conversations, the commitment by everyone to ensure that our Hoover Rockets have a wonderful, safe, engaging learning environment.  There is no place better than Hoover. 

Thank you for painting, stapling, typing, stuffing, sorting, gluing, cutting, reading, hugging, listening, talking, cooking, shopping, filing, copying, organizing, wrapping, decorating and planning.  This year we can add watering, shoveling, planting and weeding.  

Did you know that the F.B.I. motto is  Fidelity Bravery and Integrity?  Ms. Charochak's students learned this on Thursday when Mr. FitzGerald (Jack's Dad) came in to share about his career in the FBI.  Fidelity means honor, honest and truthful.  Bravery means standing up and doing the right thing even if you are scared.  Integrity means doing the right thing when no one is looking.  The first grade students also learned that there are 12,000 FBI agents.  Ms. Charochak got to try out the Hand Cuffs.




Thank you so much to our wonderful volunteers!  From donations, helping at events, popping popcorn, crafting, decorating, and so much more. This school year would not have been successful without you!

 Our 4th grade Distinguished service award winners this year are...
Cathi Anderson, Nicole Dant, Roy Watts, Jen Fraser, Bev Schave and Madeline Acosta.
