2013-14 Volume 15


News/Timelines/Due Dates

I will be talking to seventh graders about my trip to Kenya this Wednesday in the media center during their social studies class.  Feel free to drop by. 

I love reading all the grateful feathers in the mailroom.  We do have so much to be thankful for and I know I am very thankful to work at such a great school with such a great staff.  Enjoy your week off!!

Fran shared the following YouTube from Kid President.  It will make you smile and help you remember the awesome difference you make in the  lives of students.


Holiday Party –Please join us Dec. 12 5-7 at the Village Tavern.  This is a great time to get together and celebrate!!  I hope to see you there.

Casual – Wednesday through Friday will be casual days.

Textbook Coordinator:  Our new textbook coordinator is Debra Herrmann

PRIDE – This Friday, November 22 we will have silent reading time during PRIDE.  Just a reminder to continue encouraging students in PRIDE and in classes each day to donate for our toy/book drive to help students in need.  Donations have been slim and we would like to overwhelm the partnering school with generosity from our student population.  Encourage every student to participate.

Shout Out!! To Amy Creamer, Jason Landers and crew for their work on the Willy Wonka production!  It takes hours and hours of time and coordination of various pieces to put together a production such as this.  It was magical!  Congratulations!

Music News – This week there are two concerts presented by our 6th grade students.  On Tuesday, November 19th @ 7:00PM the 6th grade Band members will Present their “First Sounds” Concert with the 7th grade percussion ensemble and Jazz Band as special guests.  On Thursday, November 21st @ 7:00PM the 6th grade Orchestra members will present their introductory concert as well.  This is a big night for our 6th grade musicians as they perform live for an audience for the first time.  Please join us if you can!

A Mighty Roar

To Amy Creamer along with Jason Landers and the rest of the staff that helped with Willie Wonka Junior.  What an amazing production!!  The kids did such a great job and the set was amazing.  I have heard nothing but rave reviews!! 

 

 
Where is Livingston? 

Jennifer and Pauline say “At Autrey Mill, there is a person who goes out of her way for not only staff but also students. She helps out all of the staff by gathering all of the books students will need for Impact, Health, and other projects. She teaches Pauline and I how to use excel spreadsheets and other websites on the computers. She also is in charge of compiling the Student of the Month supplies each month with a different sponsor. In addition, she skips her lunch to encourage our students to read during lunch with the Reader Eater bunch. Also, she entices the students to read 25 books by the end of the year. In conclusion, she also checks in and out books, orders books, and keeps our tummies happy with delicious treats! She will drop anything to get our laminations done in a timely fashion! She is Laura Hunter. We could not survive without her! Congrats!

Happy Birthday
