Week of 3/21/16

Good afternoon and happy Friday-

I can certainly say I am looking forward to a fun evening "coaching" the AHS/Mindess team to a win at the 1st Annual Clocker Classic then enjoying some time with my family.  Hope to see you at AHS at 6:30pm!


Family Reconnect Weekend is this weekend.  Remember there is no school tomorrow, no practices, games, or activities over the weekend either.  Please take this time to enjoy your families and spend quality time reconnecting.


Special Olympics:
APS is hosting the 4th annual 5-Town Special Olympics on Friday, April 1.  Opening ceremonies are at 10am in the AHS gym.  Students from Ashland, Holliston, Medfield, Medway, and Millis will participate in a fun morning of drills and activities with a football theme.  All are welcome to come cheer on our athletes!


Chinese Exchange Students:
We are very excited to once again host these students and are in URGENT need of host families.  Please consider being a part of this amazing experience.  Below I have shared information from the coordinating agency.  If you are interested in hosting please let me know by tomorrow, Friday, March 25 if you are interested in hosting!  

Program Date
Sunday, May 1 -- Sunday, May 8: please be aware this is the first week of AP exams, we are happy to accommodate visiting students with shadowing another student if your son/daughter has an exam 

Participants
20 Students (10Male/10Female): students are all in the 10 grade but any AHS family is welcome to host.

Host Family 
We have the student/chaperone profiles (Name, Gender, Interests/Hobbies, Allergy/Medical Condition) ready for you and the host families. We will share this information with host families once a match is made and will ask you to complete Host Family Information Sheets.

Thank you in advance for considering this great opportunity!  


State Student Advisory Council:
We need to elect two students to the "State Student Advisory Council", a group of 2 students from each school in the state that meets once a month to discuss issues related to education policy (and how it applies to students). Mr. Wiczer has information in his room and there's also info online at http://www.doe.mass.edu/sac/  .  The nominations are due to him by next Thursday (3/31) at 2pm.  

This is open to students currently in grades 9 - 11 who can get to Hudson High School monthly-- either by driving themselves or with a parent who can drive them.


The Class of 2019 is selling Cookie and Pretzel Dough now through April 4th! It can be purchased from any member of the freshman class or you can contact Ms. Vargeletis at evargeletis@ashland.k12.ma.us. (Reminder to members of the Class of 2019- Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 sellers so make sure to ask your family and friends if they would like to purchase cookie and pretzel dough this Reconnect Weekend.)
