Have-A-Heart Day & Storyteller, Sue Black
Have-A-Heart day is a special day at Clow School. Students in all grades get started by painting their own tee shirt to represent caring for each other. All of the teachers read Have You Filled a Bucket Today? by Carol McCloud to their students. This book is about how we can fill people's buckets or lives with good and helpful thoughts.

We spend all day emphasizing the importance of caring for others and reinforce the quality throughout the year. This year, Sue Black, Clow's Storyteller in Residence, visited the fourth graders and presented a program stressing the importance of watching out for one another and how to deal with a bully and what to do if you are in a bully situation. Students role played a number of common, yet uncomfortable situations. Fourth graders now know that bullies try and intimidate, they can use verbal, physical and social techniques to hurt others. They learned why bullies act the way they do and what to do when it happens. Mrs. Black told her version of Big Brother Bubba, Hanna Pigtanna, Pigbob Squarepants and Jack the Wolf, Two Bully Goats on a Bridge, as well as Anansi and the Moss Covered Rock.

Coach Steve Morland
Clow School is a Detroit "Pistons Partner" under the direction of Coach Steve Moreland, the Pistons Director of Development. He educated and motivated students on topics critical to today's youth, along with teaching them the ABCs of basketball. Students learned all about the "Pistons Pyramid of Success" building blocks that help students carve their own path in life. They also learned how to pass, shoot, handle a ball, defend and rebound a basketball with the help of the Pistons.
