Good Friday Morning, March 14, 2008
Hello Everyone!
It’s Friday!
The PTO will sponsor and serve ice cream to the students of AFES today as a reward for their hard work on the NYS Math Tests during the past two weeks.
Reminder: Spring Pictures will be taken next 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.
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 Student Council 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 a couple of 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.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day and a great weekend! - Dean Lincoln
