“The function of education is to teach one to think
intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the
goal of true education.”
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Ferree says, “I have loved having Livingston sit on my desk this week to remind
me of how our actions and demeanor affect others every day within our
school. This week I am pleased to pass Livingston on to a dear colleague.
This teacher is a friend to all who come in contact with her. Her
outgoing personality and warm presence bring joy wherever she
goes. She is a self-taught technology expert who has developed
many creative technological tools to innovate her classroom. In addition, she
always has the time to help other teachers with technology. She is a
tireless and energetic teacher who is dedicated to helping her students achieve
to their highest potential. Her students adore her, as they know how much
she values and truly cares for each one of them. Students often recount to me
fond memories from their time in her class. For all of these
reasons I am proud to pass Livingston on to Beatriz Gyori.
News/Timelines/Due Dates
One Word – So at our meeting last Monday, I told you about a
speaker I heard that encouraged people to boil down New Year’s resolutions to
one word. My word is healthy. Have you come up with one word? If so, and if you want to, share it with each
other!!
Congratulations – to Danielle Sherfey, Shawn Beyer, Marisa Wesker,
and Robin Butler who have been selected to the first Dream Classroom
Cadre. This is a “group of highly
innovative and tech savvy teachers that have been selected to lead by
incorporating aspects of the dream classroom model into their practice and
share their mastery with others.
PRIDE – This
Friday, January 17th, will be silent reading in HR due to the Jr.
Achievement 7th grade field trip. We will meet in PRIDE groups
next Friday for an advisement class.
Visiting Korean
Students – As most of you know we had two teachers visiting us from Kenya
last semester. Next week, we will have a
few students from Korea visiting the school and getting an idea of what
American schools are like. They will be
paired with one of our students and may be visiting your classroom. Please help them to feel welcome. These
students were selected among many and come from the rural areas of Korea.
New Clinic Person –
Please welcome Regina King as our new clinic assistant. Regina is a former AMMS
parent and her sixth grader will be joining us also. She previously worked as a
resource nurse at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
Where is
