 | Anser JH students have been asked to co-present with our Hillside refugee buddies at the 2015 Idaho Conference on Refugees: Health & Healing. | |
The conference will be held at Boise State University on February 9th-10th. Organizers of this year's conference were looking for fresh ideas on ways to support the newest members of the Boise community. This workshop will bring participants into our unique collaborative year- long project, and show how a little "outside of the box" thinking has created a win/win situation for everyone involved. A panel of refugee students, Anser students and the educators involved will take participants through our vision of creating a published book of refugee poetry and an original play that will be performed at Boise Contemporary Theater. Our goal is to create better understanding of each other and to invite our Boise community to do the same. Anser is bringing a panel of five students who have taken a leadership position on this project thus far: McCall Bruce Benion, Naomi Priddy, Mira Torp, Chloe Hendrix, and Philip Giesler.

Anser is currently accepting applications for our February 19th lottery. If you have friends, neighbors, team mates, co-workers etc. that you think would be interested to have their children attend Anser, please direct them to our website: www.ansercharterschool.org. You can also invite them to our Lottery Open House scheduled for Thursday February 5th at 6:00pm. Full enrollment is the best predictor of Anser's success, so help us pass along the great news that now is the time to enter the lottery! Are you on Facebook? One quick way you can help increase Anser's marketing reach is to "like" Anser Facebook posts, or even share them. Personal referrals are the very best marketing tools, so help Anser out and "share" us with your friends!

| Next Year Kindergarten Schedule: | | |
Kindergarten and AAYC Teachers Sarah Wilcox-Brownstein and Sarah Gorringe made a proposal to the Anser Board, which was approved, to change the way Kindergarten and AAYC are scheduled and implemented next year. We are happy to announce that next year both Sarahs will teach AM Kindergarten, and both Sarahs will teach in the afternoon in AAYC! This will allow all Kindergarten students to attend Anser together in the morning like we have in the past, and it will also allow us to build upon the already impressive AAYC program that Anne Moore developed and that Sarah Gorringe has beautifully run this year. This change will also allow us to accept more students who don't attend Anser, but would like their children to benefit from the rich AAYC program. We will be sending out more information about AAYC in the near future so be on the lookout!

Spare the Air- Turn off your Engines:
| | 
Parents, a friendly reminder to PLEASE turn off your engines when dropping off and picking up your children. Whether you are parked or in the drop off/pick-up line, if you are going to be stopped for more than 10 seconds, TURN OFF YOUR ENGINE. Idling your vehicle for more than 10 seconds uses more fuel than restarting the engine- save money, reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and improve the air quality around our school by turning your engine off. As we approach winter and the associated inversions, we hope you will support this anti-idling effort at Anser and commit to improving the air that our children breathe.
