RANDALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL students take the tour!


The Randall Elementary School students in the classes of Mrs. Cahalan, Mrs. Harris, Mrs. Mitroka, Mr. Newsome and Mrs. Ostrowski had a fabulous field trip to the Ford Rouge Assembly Plant.  

The tour guide was a retired Taylor School District teacher, Sandy Kyte, who has worked at The Henry Ford for a very long time. 

The group learned the assembly line is a way to make the Ford 150 Trucks where each worker does the same job over and over in the span of one-minute intervals.  The trucks move by as they are being assembled.   


They also learned about the Ford’s “living roof” and the variety of plant matter needed to keep it sustainable. 












TRUMAN HIGH SCHOOL student council and DECA help Gleaners


Recently Stephanie Kerns and Carly Lundgren-Barnard took some Truman High School sophomore and junior student council and DECA students to Gleaners to do some volunteer work.

They worked in four different stations: bag folding, box making, packing boxes with food, and weighing and labeling the boxes. The students bagged and boxed over 1,000 items. The teachers were very proud of their enthusiasm to do community service and give back to our community and they were very well behaved. 

The group also went to Heritage Park for lunch and team building activities. The students learned to use verbal and non-verbal communication skills to solve a problem and work together as a team.

They were paired up with kids from a different grade so that they could meet new people and learn professional networking skills and had some fun while doing it. The group couldn't have asked for better weather and better-behaved students, this was an amazing experience that we would like to start a tradition of.

HOOVER MIDDLE SCHOOL is all smiles!


Do you know why everyone was smiling at Hoover Middle School recently?  

It was PICTURE DAY!  

Students and staff members smiled for the camera and received their student/staff picture ID right on the spot thanks to Lifetouch Photography.  

Having student and staff picture IDs is just one part of making our school a SAFE school.


Show us your HOOVER HAWK smile!

TRUMAN HIGH SCHOOL store hosts Crestwood students


On September 23 students from the Dearborn Heights Crestwood High School PAES program came on a field trip to tour the Truman High School school store.

They are going to be setting one up at their school. They currently do not have one. Truman DECA marketing students and school store employees dressed with “Cougar Pride” in their Cougar shirts and welcomed the students with homemade cookies and a high five or handshake. 

After a tour they sat with the students and were each individually interviewed by a Crestwood student and then paired up to work together.







Students represented Truman with pride and it was a wonderful experience for all.
