Letter from Dr. Todd Roberts regarding recent meat recall
Posted February 19th, 2008 by Helen StarmanDear AAPS Parents and Guardians,
This past weekend the USDA issued a recall on meat products that were distributed as a commodity item through the United States Department of Education’s school lunch program.
The Ann Arbor Public Schools does have some of this meat product (beef patties and taco meat) in our possession but it has never been served to any student in this district.

Wednesday, March 19, 2008
Hey parents – it’s time again for the Special Interest Fair! The fair is a Burns Park tradition, and we hope you’ll encourage your student(s) to participate. Last year approximately 80 students shared special interest projects with their classmates, teachers, and families.
All students from kindergarten through 5th grade are encouraged to submit a project! The purpose of the fair is to encourage students to pursue a topic of their interest and provide a showcase for their efforts. The fair is non-competitive, and children may work alone or in a group.

These books are available from the Burns Park school library (media center), and the call numbers are listed at the left of each item. Check it out!
