Dear AHGS Parents and Guardians:
The school is filled with parents, children and crucial conversations tonight. Good things are happening tonight and it's in the name, parent and teacher. Parents are a critical part of our and our students' success in schools. Parent-Teacher Conference Night is one of my favorite nights of the year, along with Christmas Concerts (see the Looking Ahead section) and Spring Fairs. This is a big milestone in the year and we are on the downward slope to Thanksgiving and Winter Break. Wow, that is hard to believe.
Speaking of Winter Break. We are going to experience a big drop in temperatures this weekend. Please remember to send students in coats, hats and gloves if needed, as the weather turns cold, we will be outside for recess as much as possible and want our little friends to be warm while playing.
Kindergartens through Fifth grade remember to bring your costumes (please don’t wear them to school) on October 31st, for our first quarter celebration costume and dance party for PBIS during the school day. Please remember, no blood, gore, weapons or overly scary costumes is the general rule.
Mark your calendars to join us on Thursday, November 2 at ALAH High School Gym at 6:00 pm to listen to best-selling author Dr. Steve Webb. Dr. Webb will be discussing how parents can protect their children in a violent world and how to keep your children safe on the internet and social media. Pizza and drinks will be provided from 5:00-5:45. Please RSVP by Tuesday, October 31 using the link below or by scanning the QR code: https://forms.gle/9fyACaXjgtQJcoM88
Our Veteran’s Day program is quickly approaching. This event is open for everyone. Students of all ages are singing songs, reading meaningful texts and performing a touching Missing Man ceremony this year. If you are able, feel free to come to the school on November 10th at 10:30 for our program. It will be held in the gym with refreshments and reception for veterans and their families to follow in the cafeteria.
Interstate Studios will be here for Picture Retake Day on November 17th. If you were not happy with your child’s Fall picture, you have the option to retake pictures that day.
We need mentors for our students. If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please check out our website for the recent news article on this important program.
My Very Best,
Mr. Forman
