Dear Advanced Learning Academy Families,
Last Friday, ALA on Euclid hosted a Fall Festival designed, organized and run by our K-3 students. The carnival displayed cardboard carnival games that were colorful and interactive for the whole community. There were colorful and creative games like a stuffed animal photo booth, sack races, a confetti water dunking booth, and much more. Over the course of the unit leading up to the event, students explored the driving question: How do we create an event that brings our community together? Congratulations to all of the students on their hard work and creativity to bring our community together!
A reminder that Wednesday, November 16th will be the fourth of six early release days this year. Our K-3 students will be dismissed at 1:15 PM while our 4th-10th grade students will be dismissed at 1:30 PM. All magnet buses will run immediately after dismissal at 1:15 PM or 1:30 PM. The after school programs on both campuses will begin at their regularly scheduled time. Students attending the after school programs will be supervised by campus faculty until the programs begin at the normal time.
On Friday, November 18th, our 4th and 5th grade Speak Up! Speak Out! Finalists will travel to Austin and the Texas State Capitol to compete. Congratulations to all of the students on a successful first round. Best of luck to our advancing students and our dedicated teachers!
Finally, we have created a new tradition at ALA: Turkey Day! It is a way to celebrate the last day before the break. You may review the Google presentation linked above for all Turkey Day guidelines. We return from Thanksgiving Break on Monday, November 28. We wish all our ALA families a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Sincerely,
Kathy Bieser
