Dear Elementary Parents,

Happy Monday! I hope that you and your families had a wonderful week away from school. I enjoyed visiting the Uyuni Salar and Sucre - both were lovely and amazing in different ways. April is absolutely packed full of wonders here at school and today, we started to wade into all of the activities we have to look forward to! Please read on for more information:

April is Literacy Celebration Month at ACS: This entire month, we will be celebrating our love of reading and writing. We have events like book swaps and book fairs, author visits to each grade level, a door decorating contest, and way more! You can participate by sharing your love of reading and writing at home and taking part in the many open events we have available to parents. 

Talent Show: You may have seen my post in ClassDojo earlier today about our Elementary Talent Show in late May, “Cougar Cubs in Concert!” If you missed it, you can read my letter HERE or paste the following link into your browser: <https://rb.gy/tb1vq5>. Don't forget that if your child would like to perform with others at this year's talent show, you must register by Friday, April 26th!

Earth Day is Friday, April 19th at ACS: Like many of our families, our students, teachers, and school care deeply for the environment and are working to instill and develop a passionate interest and understanding of the natural world around us. On Friday, April 19th, our Green Team will be spearheading a celebration of Earth Day. There will be fun learning events throughout the day, and a concert on The Green, in front of the auditorium, from 2-3 pm, which parents are encouraged to join! We hope to see you there. Stay tuned for more information on the day's programming.

Friday, May 3 is STEAM Family Afternoon from 3:30-5:30 pm: On Friday, May 3rd, we will host a family-focused STEAM event, with guests, special challenges, food, and fun! More information will be shared in the coming weeks.

Thanks so much for reading. I wish you a productive and positive week!

Sincerely,

Eric Crabtree
Elementary Principal
