AHS Weekly Email- 5-18-09

Happy Monday!

We have another gorgeous day after a gorgeous weekend. We are so lucky to live here! I have a lot to share this week, so I hope you can forgive this wordy email update. I will try to make it easy to read.


Registration: We had a fantastic registration event! Thank you for all your positive feedback about the event. We have nearly 80 students registered for next year ~ enough to open the school!! What a great accomplishment for our community.

New Student Enrollment/Registration: Our goal for registration is 100 students and we will continue to offer public informational events to reach this goal. Our upcoming public presentations are June 2 and June 9 at the Durango Public Library from 6:00 – 8:00 pm. Please spread the work about these events to assist us in meeting our goal of 100 students. We are also very interested in working in small groups to help bring the AHS message to your child’s friends. PLEASE contact me if you are willing to host a small group gathering with your child’s friends. The sooner the better!!

Facility: We began demolition efforts at the building this weekend. A BIG THANK YOU to all of you who came out to lend a hand! We had great emails afterwards from parents thanking US for the opportunity to help our school and giving their family an opportunity to serve the community. Thank you!
Here is the schedule for the next volunteer opportunities:

Wed, May 20th from 4 – pm
Sat, May 23rd from 8:30 – 11 am
Thurs, May 28th from 4 – 7 pm

Teachers: We have hired almost all our staff and we have such FABULOUS teachers! Michael will be sending an email to share the information about our teachers – it is so exciting!!

Other Important News: We will be working all summer – so feel free to contact us at any time with questions, ideas, etc. We are planning All Student Gatherings for June, July & August. If you have ideas for things you would like to do, send me a note! (suelawton@aol.com) We are planning a jam-fest for the June All Student Gathering. Join us June 6, bring your instrument to play in our jam session or come and enjoy some time to just hang out, go on a hike, talk & eat. As always, friends of AHS are welcome. Details to come.
