Hello Everyone!
The AFES will be hosting a “Pennies for Patients” coin drive from March 17-April 4th. This is a fund raiser is to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The funds raised here at AFES will be combined with the funds raised by Keeseville Elementary by their Pennies for Patients drive and the funds raised at the Staff Basketball Game on April 6th. We hope that through these efforts we can help to make a difference for those inflicted with blood cancers and help research find a cure for these diseases.
As I had mentioned previously, the next stop in our Box Tops “Trip Across America” will be Gary, Indiana. I have had three staff that have given correct answers to: Can anyone name the Broadway Musical that has a song named “Gary, Indiana” in it?
I have had only one who could answer: Can anyone name the younger actor that sang the song in the 1962 movie version of the musical? (The song appears twice in the play, the first time by the main character, the second time by this younger actor.) Any guesses? Guesses can be emailed to me at dwlicnoln2002@hotmail.com. A clue: the young actor was born in Oklahoma in 1954. NOTE: I have not received any guesses from the parents/community. Be brave; email a guess for both or either question. I will reveil the answer to the name of the musical tomorrow (Tuesday), and the answer to the young actor on Wednesday.
NO SCHOOL this Friday (3/21) or this coming Monday (3/24). Have a Happy Easter!
I hope everyone has a wonderful day! - Dean Lincoln
The PTO sponsored an “Ice Cream Social” for the students of AFES last Friday. It was a huge success. This was given as a reward for their hard work on the NYS Math Tests during the past two weeks. Thank you PTO.
Spring Pictures will be taken this Wednesday, March 19th.
There will be a Poison Prevention presentation to all students, K-6 on Wednesday 3/19. The presentations will be to Grades 3-6 at 9:00-9:45 and Grades K-2 from 9:45-10:30. This is an educational presentation at their level to teach the students the dangers of poisons with the hope of preventing of any incident. We had a lot of students sign up for the Talent Show which will take place on Friday, April 4th. There are 26 performances, involving approx. 56 students between AFES and Holy Name. We look forward to this great event. We will be holding the “auditions” (time to practice their performance in front of a few staff & students) next week. I will notify each performing student of their day/time. The 3rd Grade class will be visiting their foster grandparents/pen pals at the Keene Valley Neighborhood House on Thursday, 3/20. The PTO Spring Bulbs Fund Raiser will end on Tuesday, 3/26. Be sure to get you order in before then!The AFES will be hosting a “Pennies for Patients” coin drive from March 17-April 4th.
