Fall Fund Drive: Treasure what you Treasure: | | |
Did your child go Geo-Caching with MC? Maybe they went to Bogus Basin with UC, or to the Idaho Bird Observatory with Kindergarten. Do you have a Junior High student who came home from the Ropes Course trip with new friends and a new confidence that they can handle any challenge? These are some of the amazing opportunities Anser students have because Anser parents support the Fall Fund Drive. If you value your child's opportunities to grow and reflect after their learning opportunities in the outside world we hope you will add your support to the Fall Fund Drive. Our goal this year is $45,000 and we are close to half way there! And that means it is almost time to do another drawing! Get your donation in by October 15th and we will double your raffle entries and your name will stay entered for the next three drawings! Thank you to the following people for their support of all Anser students through the Fall Fund Drive: Staci and Michael Shaw, Reed and Connie Stanger, Julie and Bladimir Bu, Paul Ostler, Kim and Frank Stutzman and Marc and Barbara Cline.

Anser JH Students Receive Special Opportunity: | |
Anser has been invited to send a 5 student team to participate in the Human Rights Institute for High School Leaders, a human rights education leadership training program facilitated by the Idaho Human Rights Education Center. As the only junior high team in the state invited to participate Anser students will be joining high school teams from around the state in the program. The Human Rights Institute for High School Leaders is designed to guide 30 school teams of five students each through a year-long journey of human rights. Exploring the knowledge, practicing the skills, and fostering the dispositions that build community. It starts with one student coming together with four others in his/her school, communicating with 29 other school teams throughout the state, and ends with a statewide network devoted to helping schools protect and promote the dignity of all students. Congratulations Anser Junior High students, we know you will represent Anser well.

Lock Down Drill Scheduled for Friday October 11th: | | |
Each year Anser performs drills for fire, earthquake and lockdown. Due to the vast amount of media related to school lockdowns in the past few months, our staff decided that we would inform our students in advance of the lock down drill. This will allow us to prepare students for what actions should be taken in the event of a lock down and what they can expect to hear over the PA system, and assess if there appear to be students for whom this raises a high level of apprehension. This is the same approach we take for implementing our Earthquake drill, which is scheduled for Thursday October 17th as part of the Great Idaho Shakeout. We are letting you know in the event that your child comes home to tell you there was a lockdown, you will know that it was just a drill. Please feel free to be in touch if you ever have any questions about such procedures at Anser.

| Anser Lunch Program off to a great start! | |
We are so thrilled with the success of Anser's new lunch program. Our orders are well exceeding our expectations and we are getting great feedback from students to use as we tweak our menus. And have you asked your children about the Healthy Choice Bar? Anser students are great at eating their veggies! We will be making small changes and additions to the lunch program as we learn what students like and what works best. We love your feedback and hope that you have found this transition to a new program to more convenient and affordable. Remember, every time your student eats lunch at Anser, you are helping us sustain our very important Free and Reduced Lunch program, so often missing at charters. We thank you for your support of the lunch program and for raising such great kids!
Monday- Mini Pancakes, Yogurt or Turkey Sausage, Healthy Choice Bar
Tuesday- Soft taco bar, chicken, cheese and beans with lettuce and tomato, Healthy Choice Bar
Wednesday - Dominos Pizza, Healthy Choice Bar
Thursday- Grilled cheese pocket sandwich, tomato soup, Healthy Choice Bar
Friday- Chicken Nuggets, potato wedges, Healthy Choice Bar
Note: Healthy Choice bar is a salad bar stocked with a variety of vegetables and a serving of fruit from which students can choose each day.
Peanut Butter and Jelly is the alternate menu choice every day.
Reminder: No need to order ahead, just fund your family lunch account. If you need assistance with this, please contact Abby McLean at amclen@ansercharterschool.org
