Week of 21 March 2011

Good morning everyone!

Just a quick reminder that tomorrow morning is the Headteacher's Meeting with Mr. Clive Hale.

Bring all your comments, questions, concerns...better yet, write them all down today and tonight when they are fresh in your mind and then bring that list to the meeting tomorrow.  I have been working on my list, but I only see the workings of Nursery and Reception.

I am ever grateful for the opportunity, as a co-chair of Friends of Avonmore, to work with all of you!

See you later, see you tomorrow!

Best regards,

Melina

Improve Attendance, Improve Attitude, Improve Energy!

Yes, you can do all these things simply by joining the Friends of Avonmore!  Your volunteer time makes a huge impact on the students.  As we are all role models for the kids; when they see us working together we demonstrate how to cooperate, collaborate and achieve a community goal.  That is powerful!


Statistics prove that students with involved parents earn higher grades & test scores, have better attendance, get more homework done, and graduate at a higher rate. They are more likely to pursue education beyond high school and have more positive attitudes and behaviors!


It is just that simple.
