Rock Your Socks- 2019 – 321Foundation

Thank you so much for your generous donations to Rock Your Socks Day at Allen Park Schools!  This celebration of World Down Syndrome Day has been so much fun!  The students loved showing off their socks.  It was so amazing to see the community come together to support and celebrate all “EXTRA” special kids.  The district’s Cognitively Impaired programs greatly appreciate your support more than words could ever convey.

Watersheds Contest

As a Wayne County Green School award recipient, Arno Elementary School is one of just 25 Schools eligible to participate in this year’s Adopt a Storm Drain contest!

The Alliance of Downriver Watersheds Schools for Clean Water Adopt a Storm Drain Contest is an easy online contest where you encourage parents, school staff, and community members to pledge to adopt a storm drain near their home. When they take the pledge they assign that pledge to your school.

The schools that get the most pledges will win cash prizes up to $1,500 for class materials and educational projects!

Here are the contest details:

The Alliance for Downriver Watersheds (ADW) is proud to announce the 2nd annual Schools for Clean Water Contest! As a current, or recent, Green School located in the Downriver area, your school is eligible to participate and win!

What is the Schools for Clean Water Contest?

The Schools for Clean Water Contest is a friendly competition to reduce pollution in our local waterways. Like last year, we will focus on keeping yard waste and litter out of storm drains.

How does it work?

Participating schools urge parents, alumni, and faculty to visit www.SchoolsForCleanWater.org between April 4th and April 22nd (Earth Day) to complete a simple online pledge to do their part. When they submit the pledge form, they assign that pledge to your school. At the end of the contest, we tally up the totals and the schools with the most pledges win cash prizes.

Who can pledge?

Anyone 18 and older can take the pledge including, but not limited to: parents, alumni, student’s family members, teachers, school support staff, friends, neighbors, etc…

What do schools win?

Eight schools will win a share of the $5,000 in prize money. The money can be used to pay for educational projects and classroom materials.

  • First Place – $1,500

  • Second Place – $1,250

  • Third Place – $1,000

  • Wild Card – 5 x $250 (all schools with 50 or more pledges, will be entered into a random drawing for the five wild card prizes)

 

In 2021, winners used the prize money to help fund programs like an outdoor classroom, a reading garden for special education students, school gardens, and other green initiatives.

March is Reading Month Activities

Travel the World with Books!
One Book, One School

Flat Stanley's Worldwide Adventures #1: The Mount Rushmore Calamity: Brown, Jeff, Pamintuan, Macky: 9780061429903: Amazon.com: Books

Flat Stanley’s Worldwide Adventures!

This year to celebrate March is Reading Month, our entire
school will be reading Flat Stanley’s Worldwide Adventures:
The Mount Rushmore Calamity. Our celebration is called One
Book, One School because the entire school is reading the
same book. The Mount Rushmore Calamity is just one book in
a series about Flat Stanley, the boy who was flattened by a
falling bulletin board and his adventures traveling by mail
around the world.

Each student will get a book this year. Our goal is that you
would read this book together at home. The book is for your
family to keep. We hope you enjoy reading together as a
family. The included pacing guide outlines the chapters to be
read each week. Your child’s teacher will also be given a
book to read and discuss in class.

Throughout the month of March, we will have a wide
variety of reading themed activities to participate in at home
and at school. Attached is a calendar of all of the fun
activities we have planned!

Books will be distributed on Friday, February 25, 2022.

Pacing Guide

February 28 – March 4: Chapters 1 & 2
March 7-11: Chapters 3 & 4
March 14 -18: Chapters 5 & 6
March 21-25: Chapter 7

Flat Stanley

Flat Stanley loves to travel by mail, he is flat and fits perfectly inside
an envelope. As a family, decorate Flat Stanley however you like! Ask
a friend or family member who lives in another city or state if they
would like to show Stanley all around their town. If they agree, mail
Stanley to them. Have them take pictures with Stanley on all of their
adventures and share them with you and your family. Or take Flat
Stanley all around where you live and keep a journal of the place you
visit!

Flat Stanley’s Worldwide Adventures!
