Good Monday Morning! January 26, 2009

Hi everyone: 

Good Monday Morning! January 26, 2009. It is a Day #5.


A few notes:  

1. This 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 this week at AFES.

2. 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 supplies.

3. Mr. Hoey will be holding his annual swim for grades 4-6 this Wednesday, Jan. 28th.  This will be held during the day and the students will be bused from AFES to the AVCS Middle-High School and back to AFES.  This is a great opportunity for the students to receive some initial swimming instruction and a chance for them to swim with their classmates.  Thank you Mr. Hoey!

4. 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 and exciting event.  Thank you to Mrs. Laurie Estes for all her hard work and dedication to this event year after year.

5. Regional Spelling Bee – each grade level winner of the AFES Spelling Bee will be participating in the regional spelling which will be held at Saranac Central on Feb. 27th.  This is a huge event with many school districts participating.  The winner of this event goes on to compete in the National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C.

Have a nice day!

Dean
