Good Wednesday Morning, March 26, 2008
Good Morning,
I hope everyone is having a great week. The weather prediction is for a warmer day today and we are ready for that!
A few notes and upcoming events:
1. We have a new permanent building substitute. Her name is Mrs. Karen Manning. She is a certified elementary teacher. So when you see her in the building, be sure to say ‘hi’ and welcome her to AFES!
2. We also have several student teachers in the building for the next 6 weeks. They are a great group of young teachers eager to be mentored by our outstanding staff. You will see them around the building so be sure to say hi and welcome them to AFES.
3. The auditions for the talent show will be held during the next 3 days (Wed.-Friday). This is not an elimination audition, but rather a chance for the students to experience performing their act in front of several adults (staff) and a few students prior to having to perform in front a full audience.
4. The PTO Flower Bulb Fundraiser will end today, March 26th. I hope you had a chance to get your order in for these spring bulbs.
5. Our 5th and 6th graders will receive a "Human Growth and Development Presentation” by our district Nurse-Teacher, Carrie Brand, will take place on Thursday and Friday, March 27-28. This is an annual presentation to the 5th and 6th graders in the district.
6. Remember that the Talent Show, sponsored by the AFES Student Council, will take place Friday, April 4th at 6:30pm in the AFES gym. We have 26 performances registered between AFES and Holy Name Elementary Schools, with a total of 50 students participating. It promises to be a great evening and the students are certainly excited to show their talents! (Note: anyone that would like to help with this event, please contact me at: 647-5503 or email me at: dwlincoln2002@hotmail.com. Thanks!)
7. The AFES Student Council’s “Pennies for Patients” coin drive is off to a great start. I will update totals as we go along. This coin drive is to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. You can send in your loose change with any student or drop it off yourself. The class that collects the most will receive a “Pizza Party” for lunch.
8. Also, remember the AVCS Staff Basketball Game, taking place on Sunday, April 6th, at 4:00pm. This is a match between the Elementary Staff from both elementary schools of the AVCS District referred to as “Hulbert’s Heroes” and the Middle–High School staff, referred to as “Marlow’s Magic II”. (The teams are named after Mr. Kevin Hulbert – Principal of Keeseville Elementary and founder of the staff basketball games, and Mrs. Laura Marlow, Principal of the AVCS Hugh School.) All funds from this event will be donated to the American Cancer Society.
9. The Book Club met yesterday after school and they have finished reading “Shiloh” and have started reading “Smart Dog”. It was decided at yesterday’s meeting that the Book Club will be taking a field trip to the Village Bookstore, in downtown Au Sable Forks. The date and time have not yet been decided.
