I want to take this opportunity before our annual February break to thank parents for their ongoing involvement and tremendous flexibility and diligence during recent weeks. \u00a0We weathered the storm of the influenza outbreak together. \u00a0We practiced our emergency drills. \u00a0We got through all the many activities and performances with style and engagement. \u00a0Thank you to everyone for your enduring spirit during inclement weather, semester transitions, and the usual challenges of the season. \u00a0The sense of community in all corners of the building inspires us all each and every day.<\/p>\n
We also celebrated the 100th day of school at the end of last week. \u00a0It’s hard to believe that there are only about 80 days remaining in the year. \u00a0All parents have been emailed the ‘Re-enrollment Survey 2016-2017’ regarding plans for next year. \u00a0We look forward to hearing from you soonest. \u00a0We have many applications rolling in for new students seeking placement at AAS, new friends for all of us who remain next year. \u00a0No different than any other year, we will be preparing to say farewell to some of you, and wishing you well on your next adventure. \u00a0But, that is still far away. \u00a0With much left to accomplish and complete, we focus our energies on the days ahead as learning shifts into high gear for the culminating activities of the year.<\/p>\n
In March, I’m joining one of our High School Discovery Week trips. \u00a0I will be traveling with a student group to Africa and helping out with our three school building projects. \u00a0Look for some critically important news on this front right after the vacation. \u00a0We are excited about the expansion of our influence in this region as we bring our special model of service to key needy populations. \u00a0You may have an opportunity to play a special role in this for which I’d appreciate your earnest attention. \u00a0Stay tuned!!<\/p>\n
To those who are traveling next week, I wish you a safe journey. \u00a0To all, please enjoy a well-deserved week of rest and reflection! \u00a0I look forward to your return and our ongoing collaboration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
