Supplying Our Future

To Parents of Monroe County children:

“Supplying Our Future” Backpacks for Kids in Monroe County is a group of caring people who are working to make sure every child K-12 has the school supplies necessary to start school.  In this trying economy, we know there are those who need a backpack filled with the necessary supplies for school.   Click here to link for an  application that can be turned in at your school or to The Salvation Army for your child/children for the up-coming school year.  We do not require income information on the application. 

We understand seeking assistance is not always easy, rest assured there are many caring people and agencies working together to help your family during these tough times.  We have distribution events planned throughout the county to make it easier for you to get these needed supplies.  Please check which site will be convenient for you.  We will have food and fun activities planned.  If your family could benefit from this program, please fill out the application and turn it in.  We will have information from many agencies that work with families available.

If you do not need assistance but would like to come to the fun back to school events you are still welcome to come.  If you are able to assist us with donations to this program, we would be happy to accept them. 

If you want further information on this program, you may call The Salvation Army at 734-241-0440.    We are working hard to make a successful start for the upcoming school year. 

Sincerely,

Cooking Time

The 6th graders are currently studying solar energy.  The project that they had to make was a solar oven.  The good news is that now you can use your child's homework to cook dinner.

Suriname Dancing

Below is Mrs. Vogel's 6th grade class learning how to dance from Raviel Morris, an exchange student from Suriname.  The dance represents the 5 cultures found in Suriname. Looks like the kids had fun.  You can read more about it on Mrs. Vogel's blog (click here).
