Trombly Terriers Taking Care of Business
January 22, 2019
International Festival - Postponed
Multi-Age Information Night - Thursday, Jan 24 @ 6:30 p.m.
Interested parents of students in Kindergarten through 2nd grade are invited to attend the Multiage Information Night on Thursday, January 24. We will gather in the Trombly Library with the night scheduled to begin at 6:30 PM.
If unable to attend and have an interest in the class, please let the office know so we can share information and monitor who is interested.
Snowy Weather - School Closings
With the recent snowfall and chilly temperatures, we were asked how the District will let families know if school happens to be closed.
Once the decision has been made to close school, a notice will be placed on the district website.
Next, the robo call system will kick into gear and phone calls will be made to each family.
The local media will post the closing as well.

Lunchtime Enrichment is Coming!
Each Winter, Trombly Students have an opportunity to stay in from lunch recess & participate in an Enrichment Activity run by a Trombly Parent Volunteer!
This year, Lunchtime Enrichment will run for the 5 weeks between Winter Break & Spring Break: February 25th - March 29th.
We're off to a good start with Parents running the following Activities!
- Plarning **looking for an additional parent volunteer to help**
- Go Noodle: Fun with Movement
- DI Instant Challenges
- Sticker Club
We'd love a couple more Parent Volunteers who can give their time one lunch per week to run an Activity!
Need an idea?...Legos, Chess, Checkers, Scrabble, Math/Puzzle Challenges, Crafts, Yoga, Boardgames, Coding, Jump Roping...you name it!
If you're interested, and would like learn more about helping out with Lunchtime Enrichment, please email: Jessie Rouleau - jveith14@yahoo.com

Motor City Mitten Mission Collecting Take-Out Containers
Motor City Mitten Mission is a non profit organization right here in Grosse Pointe Park that provides assistance to the homeless community in Detroit and Windsor. It’s cofounders are Grosse Pointe residents! They provide mats and pillows that are crocheted from plastic bags. They also provide outreach meals 4x a week directly to the homeless that cannot make it into a shelter for whatever reason. They require many carry out containers and they’re asking for our help! Do have that drawer of containers from last night’s carry out?! If so, Trombly Terriers will be collecting them for Motor City Mitten Mission! Please wash and send them with your child to school. There will be a drop off box in the office. We will be collecting them all year! Thank you for recycling and giving back to the community through MCMM.
