Please send your child in with a pair of headphones or earbuds that plug into a computer. We will be using technology all year and they will need a pair to use at school that can live at school. If you have extras or would like to send an extra pair in for a few students who don't have them, that would be deeply appreciated.

Farm to School Collaborative
As a co-chair of the Ann Arbor Farm to School Collaborative, I will be attending meetings this year to support farm to school efforts in the district along with Mr. Hatt who also. We will have 4 meetings during the school day this year. I will be out four half days for those meetings but will have excellent subs to guest teach in my classroom. Today, Mrs. Ambrosino will be leading my class in the afternoon. She is a retired teacher from Burns Park!
The Ann Arbor Public Schools Farm to School Collaborative is comprised of community partners, district staff, parents, and others. We work together to promote student wellness and create connections between local agriculture and AAPS.
The primary focus areas for our work are:
