Dear Families,

What a special week it has been! From the joy and energy of our St. Patrick's Day celebration to our student-led assembly, a visit from our beloved mascot Roci, the G3 art show, and a wonderful staff appreciation day, there was so much to celebrate. Thank you to the families who organized the most delicious food and beautiful decorations for our staff. It was the best!!

We also had an Early Release Day dedicated to professional learning, with colleagues sharing instructional practices with one another. It is a reminder of the depth and thoughtfulness this community brings to their work.

We are so grateful to be part of such a vibrant and warm community. Thank you for everything you bring to ASM.

Have a lovely weekend,

-Ms. Dani

SIGN UP FOR OUR SUMMER CAMP IN ENGLISH ---        This year’s Summer Camp will run from July 1-31.  

Our camp aims to immerse children in the English language in a playful, fun, and informal way through a full-immersion camp-style approach that integrates the four basic skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Campers will learn English through educational games and hands-on projects and will also enjoy plenty of structured time outdoors each day. Many of our students have an intermediate or advanced level of English; therefore, our camp is also a wonderful option for proficient English speakers.

Monthly Character Strength: Open Minded

For the month of March, our character strength focus is open minded. At ASM, being open minded means staying curious, considering different perspectives, and being willing to have your thinking challenged and changed. In our classrooms, this shows up: in the questions students ask during inquiry, in how they listen to a classmate who sees things differently, and in the willingness to say "I hadn't thought of it that way."

Students who demonstrate this strength will have their names entered into a drawing at our next assembly for a chance to have lunch with Ms. Dani. We invite families to talk with their children at home about what it looks and feels like to be open minded, whether trying a new approach to a problem, listening with genuine curiosity, or being open enough to change their mind.
