A Message From Our Head of School |
Dear Parents,
Spring Break begins tomorrow. With the winter that we've had, I believe we all need it. Some families will be traveling near and far and others will be staying in the area. Whatever your plans, I hope that our students can take some time off and come back rested for the remaining few months of school. I want to thank the families, students, faculty and staff who donated to the American Red Cross to help the victims in Japan. The total donation amount is $1,070.
Lower School Performances
This week we had two wonderful productions performed by our students in kindergarten and fourth grade. As it is every year, the Peter Rabbit play was a big hit with parents, grandparents and other relatives. Performed to an overflowing crowd in the Lower School assembly room, our kindergarten students were outstanding. In addition to the Peter Rabbit play this week, the fourth grade students in Mrs. Marlow's class performed Midsummer's Night Dream. Not only were they exceptional, I found out that we have a whole class of thespians. I don't believe there is a fourth grade class in our area or region that could have come close to duplicating their efforts. Thank you Mrs. Marlow and students for your Academy Award winning performance.
Good Luck Equestrian Team
Good luck to team members Emily Manos, Lilly Chalfant, Kate Kuczynski, Gabrielle Beeker, and Jorge Barrio. They will be representing Andrews Osborne Academy this weekend in Wilmington, Ohio in the IEA Zones Finals. Two weeks ago, the IEA Equestrian Team came in first place in the IEA Regionals held at AOA. At Wilmington, they will have the opportunity to move on to the IEA Nationals which will be held outside of Washington, D. C. in two weeks.
Have a great weekend and Spring Break. School resumes Monday, April 4.
