News and Announcements

• From the Principal

  Dear Havel Community, As parents, we all know that it is our job to act as good role models for our children.  We know that children learn their behaviors by what they see, not what they hear.  Parenting Awareness Michigan, which is an organization dedicated to helping parents raise their children, suggests five ways that parents can model good citizenship:   1.  Be a good neighbor 2.  Volunteer in your community 3.  Take care of the environment 4.  Obey laws 5.  Participate in Government There are thousands of ways for you to model good citizenship to your child, but I would like to particularly focus on #2 - Volunteering in the community.  Getting involved by helping out at your child's school shows your child that his/her education is important to you. Some parents have some misconceptions about volunteering at school.  We aren't looking for you to come every day.  1-4 times per month is ideal.  You can bring your younger children with you.  You can either work with students in the classroom or work in the hallway helping the teacher prepare materials.  The bottom line is we want you to feel welcome and we want you here, at Havel, helping us to help your child. If that wasn't incentive enough to volunteer in your child's classroom, here is another reason:  during April and May, if you volunteer in your child's classroom at least 2 times each month, then your name will go into a drawing for a $50 gift certificate to a store or restaurant of your choice! I look forward to seeing you volunteering in our building! Sincerely, Steve Slancik Havel Principal *as written in the April 2012 Havel Hawkline**
