AHS Weekly Update- Week of Nov. 3oth
Please excuse the delay in distribution of this week’s email update. It’s been a crazy couple of days as we get ourselves back into school mode and shake off the Thanksgiving recess. Hopefully your holiday and time off was filled with all the joy and blessings of this holiday season.
Exhibition/Retrospect
A huge thank you to all who participated in Animas High School’s Fall Exhibition and Retrospect experiences! The feedback from these events has been stellar and the staff is incredibly pleased with our students’ performance. It’s interesting to note that our ninth graders will participate in seven more Exhibitions before they graduate and based upon this first experience, they have definitely set the bar high for themselves in the future. We excitedly look forward to seeing more beautiful work from the Class of 2013 in semester two.
POLs
POLS (End of the Semester Presentations of Learning) and in-class final exams are coming up the week of Dec. 14th. Stay tuned for more information regarding POLS in next week’s update and make sure
to check-in with your student regarding their finals schedule.
Animas River Clean-Up Day
AHS Sustainable Schools SIG and AHS students will be participating in this weekend’s Animas River Clean- Up Day. Participants will meet at AHS on Saturday, December 5th at noon to head out to the clean up. We are excited to give back to one of Durango’s most important natural resources. Students should wear comfortable clothing and sneakers that can get wet and bring along a water bottle and snack. Any questions concerning this experience can be forwarded to colleen.dunning@animashighschool.com
PAC Meeting
The next meeting of Animas High School’s Parent Advisory Council will be next Monday, Dec. 7th at noon at AHS. We look forward to your participation at this upcoming event. Questions or concerns can be forwarded to PAC@animashighschool.com
Have a fabulous week!
