Dear Advanced Learning Academy Families,
Yesterday, several Advanced Learning Academy students placed and were recognized at the district Academic UIL meet in art, writing, chess puzzles, music memory, spelling, number sense, oral reading, and storytelling. Congratulations to all of our ALA students, and a special thanks to our UIL sponsors Laura Sisson, Pete Kohrs, and David Loredo for their support of our students.
We also had a large group of students in Austin on Saturday for the “Girls Day at UT Austin” pre-college and career field trip (Click HERE for picture). Many thanks to our coordinators and chaperones, Ms. Schattel, Ms. Watson, Mrs. Cedillo, Mrs. Ibarra and our counselors for bringing this program to our school and families. ALA fathers and sons (4th-10th grade) are reminded to turn in their permission slips to attend their field trip scheduled Saturday, March 4, 2017 from 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Click HERE for details.
Our ALA at Fox Tech librarian, Laura Sisson, asked me to share that The Story Pirates are coming on March 2nd to present an Interactive Mystery to the ALA 4th-10th graders. The Story Pirates will be introducing the Spy on History Series and the students will learn about Mary Bowser, a slave who became an invaluable Union spy. The presentation starts at 9 am in the library. The book pre-sale is over, but a limited number of books will be available after the presentation at a cost of $14.00 (cash, credit card, or a check to the Twig). Parents are welcome to attend the event as well!
For the next few weeks Dr. Vargas-Lew, Ms. DeLaCerda and the COLLEGE GO CENTER will be hosting 6th - 8th grade Naviance sessions. Parents, please be sure to join us at any of these sessions. Click HERE for more details.
On March 4th, our ALA High School UIL Acting Company will be performing, The Fifth Sun for the UIL Zone contest. The performance will be at Edgewood Performing Arts Center at 7pm. Awards and celebrations will begin at 9pm. Having an audience during our play performance will help our young talented actors and technicians immensely! The address for the Edgewood Arts Center is 607 SW 34th St., San Antonio, TX 78237. We extend an open invitation and hope to see our ALA community at our play!
Looking ahead, March 6-10 is Celebrate Reading 2017: Dr. Seuss Week! All of our students, K-10th, are invited to dress up in celebration!
Finally, the Fox Tech boys basketball team competes against Schulenburg in the Regional Semi-Finals on Tuesday, February 28th, 2017 at 6 pm at Seguin High School. The school will be sponsoring a spirit bus to the event. Student may pick up permission slips in the main office. Good luck Buffalos!
Have a wonderful week.
Sincerely,
Kathy Bieser
