Good Friday Morning! January 23, 2009
Hi everyone:
Good Friday Morning! January 23, 2009. It is a Day #4.
A few notes:
1. This week (Jan. 19-23) we are administering the NYS ELA Assessments to the6th grade students.
2. The Flu Clinic was held yesterday and was a great success!
3. Last Friday, January 16th, the PTO hosted another “Family Reading Night”. It was another great success with great readers. Thank you to all the great readers for their contribution of time and effort to help make this night a memorable one for children and adults alike. Thank you to Rebecca Douglas for organizing this event. Thank you to Sierra and Cory Hanf of the Hollywood Theater for the donation of popcorn, and thank you to all the other PTO members that help to make this such a successful event.
4. Next week is regents week at the Middle/High School, therefore there will be no late bussing and so we will not have any afterschool clubs next week at AFES.
5. The AFES Student Council will be hosting a Food Drive starting next week to help out our local food bank. If it is possible, please help us with this important drive. Due to the increased need by families during these difficult times, the food bank is in need of more supplies.
6. AFES will be holding its Annual 4-6 grade Spelling Bee on Feb. 3rd at 9:00am in the gym. Everyone is welcome to attend. If your child is a participant in this event, you will receive a letter home. There were spell offs held in the classrooms to determine which students would participate in the school spelling bee. This is always an important exciting event. The winners of this bee at each grade level will go on to participate in the regional Spelling Bee in Saranac Central on Friday, Feb. 27th. Thank you to Mrs. Laurie Estes for all her hard work and dedication to this event year after year.
Have a nice day!
