May 9 - Science Bridge (10th) and Science NECAP (11th)

Don't miss their final show this Friday at 7pm in the Aud.

It's almost mid-May and you know what that means. The celebrations are starting. This week features NHS inductions and the culminating show for the Dance Team. I hope you are able to participate and/or congratulate these students (and adults) who've worked hard this year. In addition, the final standardized tests will occur for juniors and 10th graders this week. As you also know, when the celebrating starts and weather warms up it's harder and harder for students, and sometimes us adults, to stay focused on the final push. Please work hard for your students and your colleagues to encourage smart decision making, time management, and respectful behavior. Thanks in advance for your help and energy toward a strong and fun finish to the school year.

Classroom - Schoolwide Happenings:

PA Upward Bound student took part in TRIO is Working Day Saturday, April 30. Through out the state many TRIO programs were participating in a community service day project. The JSC Upward Bound service was to green up on the Rail Trail.  The program did the whole trail from Jeffersonville to Tinny Bridge. PA's group specifically worked from Tinny Bridge to the Oxbow section. Due to time limit we were unable to complete our last 2 10ths of a mile. The 10 PA students were very diligent and completed the experience with enthusiasm and a sense of accomplishment

This is what Cinco De Mayo looks like in Spanish class.

Amazing facilitated conversation between students at PA and a few community members. In this photo, some students are conversing through written and spoken language for the first time with peers they've gone to school with for many years. I heard one student (on the left side of the photo) say 'this is amazing'. Talk to Kascinda or Kim for more of the story.
