The Magic of Literacy at Dye Elementary
Dye families were treated to a special event for the Title I family literacy night – The Magic of Literacy! Students and parents were entertained by professional magician, Fred Lenter, in three different shows. Students also made magic wands and wrote stories about magical hats while their parents talked with reading teachers about strategies to help their children read at home. Every Dye student was able to take home a bag with two tricks and a book of their choice. The evening also included dinner. Dye’s next family night is December 13. Watch for information to come home in early December!
HOSA Fall Blood Drive
On Friday, November 9th, the high school chapter of HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) welcomed the Red Cross for the fall blood drive. HOSA students volunteered to greet and register donors, manage the Rapid Pass procedure, serve the food, and assist as unit helpers. They worked alongside a wonderful team of nurses and technicians and collected 43 units of blood. Donors were given a Red Cross t-shirt as a thank you and were served bagels, sandwiches, fruit, cookies, water and juice. HOSA appreciates the CAHS custodial staff and the physical education department for their help in setting up the auxiliary gym. HOSA would also like to give a special thank-you to the Michigan Eye Institute whose monetary donation helped to provide the food for the blood drive donors and volunteers.
