It seems like yesterday I was welcoming students on our first day of school. We would like to thank everyone for all of the support that was given this year. Staff, parents, volunteers and students have made this a rewarding year. Each day has been an opportunity to build relationships with Hoover Rockets. Hoover Elementary is such a wonderful community! Our staff is so appreciative of all that you have done this year to support the instruction of our students. This year at Hoover will be one I will never forget. Here are a few highlights:
*getting dunked in the dunk tank
*walking in the Walk-a-Thon
*serving pizza on pizza days
*listening to students read
*observing teachers and students in the classroom
*picking strawberries in the garden
As we close the year, I want to share with you my tremendous gratitude for entrusting your children to us. Our Hoover Rockets are amazing boys and girls-I enjoy them so much! It is my privilege to serve as the principal of Hoover Elementary. I wish each of our Hoover Rockets, as well as their families, a summer filled with sunshine and memory making events. Whether you are enjoying the Livonia Spree, rides on your bikes, trips to the Dairy Barn or travels across America, I hope your days are happy ones!
WOW! What a fun last week of school!
2nd Grade had a picnic on the playground
