Hoover Elementary School News
March 2023
Dear Parents/Guardians,
The groundhog predicted 6 more weeks of winter. If he's correct, then spring is just around the corner! Please continue to dress your child for the weather and let's hope for warmer days ahead.
Please take a moment to read through this newsletter to see the exciting things that are happening this month at Hoover!
Thank you,
Mrs. Czarnecki
Exciting events happening this month!
On Friday, March 10, Hoover Elementary is pleased to announce we will be visited by author Frank Murphy. Over the last month in media (library) class, students have been reading books written by Frank Murphy. Each grade level will be visiting with Frank Murphy to learn about his work as a children's author. In addition to this presentation, several students were selected randomly as a part of the PBIS rewards at the end of February. The reward was to eat lunch with Frank Murphy or participate in a writer's workshop!
Van Go! Museum on Wheels
The Elementary Art Department is pleased to announce that the VanGo! Museum on Wheels will be coming to both Eisenhower and Hoover! Thanks to a generous Lion Foundation grant, students will be able to participate in this authentic art museum experience at the beginning of March. The current VanGo! Museum on Wheels is a 31-foot RV home equipped with an onboard museum gallery. Visits include tours onboard the bus, group assemblies, and a hands on-activity. This is an amazing opportunity for students to explore local, contemporary artists while reinforcing existing curriculum and standards. The VanGo! will be coming to Hoover on March 15 & March 16.

What’s Happening in Guidance:
In March, all Hoover students are diving into career exploration! At the primary level, the focus is to introduce students to the myriad of career opportunities available! We will have fun learning about various careers, considering students’ interests, and discovering how we can find a career that uses our interests and skills.
