Good afternoon, RJ Grey Families:
I hope you are doing well and that you had an enjoyable Veterans Day yesterday. To all of our veterans, I offer a sincere thank you for your service to our country. I enjoyed the day with my family. It was markedly different from a weekend day, which is usually filled with grocery shopping, soccer games, and other predictable activities; this day felt special! I keep thinking that today is Monday, however.
I hope that you'll make plans to join us for our annual school musical. This year's show, Singin' in the Rain, Jr., opens up after Thanksgiving. You can join us on December 3, 4, and 5th for 7 pm shows, or on Sunday, December 6th for a 2:00 pm show. I am always so impressed with the varied talents of our students. They can act, sing, dance, run the lights, manage backstage, and combine their efforts for a really fun show. Please join us if you can; you may purchase tickets by clicking this link.
Another activity to look out for is our schoolwide Spelling Bee! Students can sign up to compete against their classmates. The first round is a written test on November 17. Top performers will then compete in a traditional spelling bee-style competition on December 9th. Interested students can register here.
Finally, as you know, AB is looking for a new school superintendent for next year. A message went out from the district today. I want to highlight the opportunities you'll have to meet the finalist candidates next week.
All forums for parents/guardians and community members will take place at 6:30 pm in the Administration Building Auditorium on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday next week. Parents who attend will be able to give feedback to the School Committee through written comments after the sessions. Thank you in advance for your interest and participation in the selection of our next superintendent.
Have a good weekend,
Jim
