School Updates
Dear Farley Hill Families,
I would like to thank you for your continued engagement at school and for the positive support that you are sharing with our staff. We so appreciate you! In addition, thank you to those who have reached out to support the launch of our Pirate's Best Friend Therapy Dog fundraiser. We are off to an amazing start! We hope to choose our dog soon! Our students will be voting on the name for our therapy dog. Thank you to The Wild Indoors for their donation of food for the life of our therapy dog! If you are interested in making a donation, please go to our Farley Hill Elementary websites and click on the yellow "DONATE" button in the upper left corner of the screen. You will be able to choose the Pirate's Best Friend Link or the Food Pantry Link.

Our third grade students recently completed a service project to collect snacks and to pack snack bags for our veterans who visit the Ann Arbor VA Hospital. This is an annual event to mark Veteran's Day. Thank you to all who donated items and to those who attended to help students pack the bags. We filled around 250 bags!
We are super excited to be able to offer a holiday concert this year! Our concerts will be at the Jane Tasch Theatre on Monday, December 19. Kindergarten and first grade students will perform at 6:30. They should arrive at 6:10. Second and third grade students will perform at 7:30. They should arrive at 7:10. Please follow the posted signs in the hallways at the back of the Pathfinder/Navigator building to find the Band and Choir Rooms for dropping off and picking up your child after the performances. This is a free community event. Thank you to our music teacher, Mr. Sutton for giving our students this opportunity! We also thank our PTO and the Pinckney Music Boosters for their support.
As always, please continue to let me know how I can best support your child at school. Thank you for your continued support and engagement!
Yvonne
