Good afternoon and happy April!

This message was shared with all students this morning. If your family celebrates Ramadan please make sure your student sees this information. 

We recognize Ramadan, which begins this evening, as a month-long observance by Muslims worldwide, marked by spiritual reflection and worship. For students who observe Ramadan and may be fasting, we want to offer you a space during your lunch period to be away from the cafeteria. The library and distance learning lab has been reserved for you for reflection and prayer throughout the month. The DLL is the room off the library.  If you have 3rd lunch the counseling office will be open as a space for you. As always, please reach out to your counselor or administrator with any questions or concerns or if you need to access quiet space at additional times during the day. We wish a safe, happy, and generous Ramadan to all members of our community who observe the holiday.

With one week left in Term 3 all students are encouraged to check iPass and seek out teachers if needed. X-block is the perfect time to make up a missed assignment or quiz or ask for extra help.

Financial Reality Fair
The AHS Student Council is working to put together our third annual "Financial Reality Fair" for the graduating seniors.  This event will be held on Friday, May 27th in-person at the high school.  Each senior will receive a paycheck and credit score and will need to navigate various booths where they will have to make financial decisions (renting an apartment, getting a car, getting insurance, etc.)  

To run this event successfully we need parent help!  To learn more about what volunteering involves and to sign-up to help, please visit our website at https://sites.google.com/ashland.k12.ma.us/stucoashland/events-2021-2022/reality-fair.  If you have a background in any of the fields listed on the website, that's great!  If not, we'll train you for the fair!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Nayonika Singh at SinghNay@ashland.k12.ma.us (Student Council President) or Josh Wiczer at jwiczer@ashland.k12.ma.us (Student Council Advisor).
