Dear Advanced Learning Academy Families,
Prior to spring break, several of our students attended the Explore UT Father-Son pre-college and career field trip (Click HERE for pictures). We look forward to making this an annual event for our families! Special thanks to our coordinators and chaperones, Mr. Bland, Ms. Watson, Mrs. Ortiz and Dr. Vargas-Lew for bringing this program to our school and families.
On Monday, our 6th and 7th grade students will be visiting the Scobee Planetarium and San Pedro Park for science activities as part of their studies in their systems class (math and science). If you have not submitted a permission slip, please be sure to send it with your student in the morning.
As a reminder, Friday, March 24th is the last early release day of the school year. After school care will NOT be available, and all K-10 students need to picked up at the early dismissal time. Our K-3 students will be dismissed at 1:15pm, while our 4th-10th grade students will be dismissed at 1:30pm.
On Saturday, March 25th, a group of ALA 4th and 5th grade students will be showcasing their straw structures and weaved walls at San Antonio’s Mini Maker Faire at the Central Library from 11am to 4pm. Our students will teach visitors how to make structures as they add three-dimensional figures to a community art structure. The event is free and open to the public.
Dr. Linda Vargas, ALA counselor, will be hosting a final Naviance workshop this week for 6th-10th grade families in the College Go Center. Families may click HERE for more details. Families are encouraged to log into Naviance on a weekly basis for updates posted on various pre-college and scholarship opportunities.
On Monday, our 6th - 8th grade ALA theatre students will receive a rehearsal calendar and script for our upcoming production of The Tempest, by William Shakespeare, showcasing for SAISD on April the 8th. Please click this link for our cast list. I am very proud of the student auditions for this production. Also, watch closely for a community production in our own ALA theatre soon after the April 8th SAISD performance. These times will be listed in the next community bulletin.
Finally, Coach Callen Myers at our Fox Tech campus is seeking donations of used or new baseball and softball gloves for an upcoming unit in her physical education classes. Donations may be dropped off at the Euclid or Fox Tech campus.
Have a wonderful week!
Sincerely,
Kathy Bieser
