Winter Break Will Start On December 19

Originally scheduled to start on December 20, 2007 the Dearborn Public Schools will now start the Winter Break on December 19, 2007.

On Monday, December 10, 2007 district administration learned that the start of Eid Al-Adha (holiday of sacrifice) would be on December 19, 2007. Due to expected low attendance, the district will change the start of the Winter Break to December 19, 2007. State funding of schools is tied to attendance, therefore the decision to start the Winter Break one day early will avoid any potential loss in revenue, maintain the integrity of instructional time, and meet the needs of the community. All schools will close at the end of the day on December 18, 2007 and will reopen on Wednesday, January 2, 2008.

Haigh Brownie Troop - Taking Cookie Orders

The Haigh Brownie Troop will be taking orders for Girl Scout Cookies beginning on Monday, December 10th. The price remains at $3.50, and the usual favorites are for sale. The sugar free cookie this year is chocolate chip. And the new cookie for the year is Lemon Chalet Creme.

Cookies will arrive around mid-February, so that gives us plenty of time to eat our Christmas cookies and work-out for the first six weeks of the new year.

Please see Christine Berryman for further information, or to place your order.
