Hello Hoover Rockets,

Thank you Mrs. Lipinski for bringing the Solar System right here to Hoover.  Students in 1st-4th grade enjoyed learning about the stars and planets in the Star Lab.  The classes scheduled for Thursday will be going next Thursday.

March is Reading Month 
It is that exciting time of year, when we celebrate the joy and love of reading in special ways…March is Reading Month! Of course, our Hoover Rockets are involved in reading and related activities each and every day. However, during this month, our committee of staff and parents work together to plan activities which engage our boys and girls in new and exciting ways!  This month we will celebrate the enjoyment of reading as…  “Wild About Reading”.
Some great things have been planned to give an extra focus toward reading. Each week there will be a highlighted event.
