A MESSAGE FROM MRS. CAUDILL
I want to take a moment to wish each and every one of you a fantastic summer vacation! This year has been truly remarkable. We've witnessed incredible growth in our students, both academically and personally. From the excitement of classroom discoveries to the friendships made, it's been a year filled with learning and laughter.
None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of our dedicated school community. Your constant encouragement, active participation in school events, and willingness to volunteer have made a world of difference in our school community. Thank you for entrusting us with your kiddos – we are truly grateful.
Now, it's time for some well-deserved rest and relaxation! Spend quality time with your families, explore new adventures, and create lasting memories. Don't forget to keep those young minds active! Visit your local library, explore a museum, or simply enjoy the joy of reading a good book together. Below you will find a list of 100 summer activities to Sharpen the Saw. I hope you find it useful.
We look forward to welcoming you all back to Amerman Elementary in the fall for another year of learning and growth. For our fifth grade families, we wish you the best! Remember, once a Bobcat, always a Bobcat. Until then, have a safe, fun-filled, and relaxing summer!
Tag you're it!
Devon Caudill

PTA Information
We raised over $16,000 for Amerman at our Bobcat Bash! Thank you again to our attendees, volunteers and sponsors who made it an incredible night. The funds raised will go toward next year’s PTA expenses. Read on to see a recap on what your PTA dollars went toward this year.
Our PTA committees ran the following events that were free for every Amerman student: Popsicles on the Playground, Trunk R Treat, Holiday Scavenger Hunt, Art Night, Breakfast with a Buddy, and Literacy Night. Hundreds of students enjoyed these community events!
As a PTA, we brought in guest authors and illustrators, had a visit from Hooper with a Pistons Assembly and an accompanying Amerman Pistons game, and the whole school learned some exciting chemistry from Mad Science. We added Spanish to our After School Programs in addition to Art House and Little Labs. We provided a t-shirt designed by one of our Bobcats to all of our students and staff. Our Kindergarteners got a visit from Huron MetroParks, our second graders got a trip to Mill Race, and our 3rd graders got a trip to the Ann Arbor Historical Museum. We contributed to the 4th grade buses for their Lansing field trip, and all of the Northville PTAs came together to sponsor a seminar on social media for 5th graders.
We held an all-school Fun Run, where we had a DJ and hot chocolate while we took a trip around the world, with a follow up popcorn party and Kona Ice party. We held school skating nights and awarded pizza parties and hosted over 200 birthday cafes. Some of our Bobcats got a High Tech High Touch seminar, while others enjoyed a visit from Science Alive. We awarded $8,500 in teacher grants that went toward student enrichment. We got Amerman’s first ever mascot. Our incoming Kindergarteners got a take-home Bobcat bag at Roundup to get them excited for elementary school. Our 5th graders all got a pool party at the high school, where they brought home an embroidered towel as a farewell gift from our PTA. And of course, we hosted our Bobcat Bash, which was our biggest and best yet.
All of this is only possible with the support of our community - you! Whether you donated to a fundraiser, attended our events, or poured your time into making these events happen, you have played an integral role in making this an AMAZING school year for our Bobcats.
You can sign up now to become a PTA member for next school year! Visit AmermanPTA.com to purchase an individual or family membership. If you have any questions or ideas for our PTA Board, please contact Board@amermanpta.com.
