Dear Advanced Learning Academy Families,
It was wonderful to see so many students and families at Thursday’s exhibition of student work, a unique feature of an ALA education. The exhibitions not only give parents and families the opportunity to view their own student’s work, but we invite you to visit and give feedback to our students across the three grade levels.
On Tuesday, April 18th we will be hosting a special Spring College Fair at ALA at Fox Tech. All freshmen, sophomores, and their family members are invited to attend. Over 50+ college representatives from throughout the United States will be attending the event. Students are asked wear professional dress and review the College Fair 101 document for tips and strategies to maximize their time and make a great first impression.
On Thursday, April 20th our 8th-10th grade students will be taking a field trip to Austin to visit the LBJ Presidential Library . Students will be conducting an exploration of the history of Civil Rights in the United States and examining the long term impacts of LBJ's Great Society on modern society. Upon their return, students will connect their learning on the historical impacts of civil rights progress to modern social movements. If you have any questions about the field trip, please contact your student's United States history teacher.
Please remember, we would like to invite the ALA and SAISD community to our ALA MS and HS theatre company production showcases. On Thursday and Friday evenings, our middle school play, The Tempest, will be showcased on May 18th and 19th at 7pm in the ALA Theatre. Tickets for these show dates will be $5.00 each. These tickets will be sold at the door only. Our high school play will be showcased on May 25th and 26th at 7pm at the Instituto Cultural de Mexico theatre. On Friday evening, following the performance of The Fifth Sun, we will hold an International Thespian Induction (honor society for the arts). Advanced tickets for a light dinner on Friday evening only will be sold from April 18th to May 17th. Tickets are $10.00 each, and will be sold during lunches by our high school theatre students and Ms. Stengel. Please save these dates on your calendars!
Looking ahead, please mark your calendars for Saturday, April 29, 2017 as ALA 8th-10th and Fox Tech magnet band students perform in the Fiesta Flambeau Parade. Also, National Teacher Appreciation Week is May 1-5, 2017. Families are invited to honor teachers with a personal note. More details can be found HERE.
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Kathy Bieser
