MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THE
STATE OF THE SCHOOL ADDRESS
State of the School Address and New Middle School Wing Tour  
 
Dear Amana Community,
 
Please join Mr. Jaleel for a special evening on October 16th at 6:30 PM for his State of the School Address in addition to a tour of our new middle school wing.  As an Expeditionary Learning school, we place a lot of emphasis on reflection - time alone to explore our own thoughts, to make our own connections, and create our own ideas.  We will reflect on our past year's accomplishments, explore our current challenges and opportunities, and set the stage for our future priorities - don't miss it!
 
As a special treat, we will also be joined by Good Van Slyke Architecture and Evergreen Construction for a tour of our new middle school wing.  Please invite your family, friends and acquaintances to attend.  If you have children who graduated from Amana, please ask them to attend as well.
 
Child care and refreshments will be available (click here if you will need child care).  Doors will open at 6:30 PM.  We hope to see you there!
PIE GENERAL BODY MEETING - 10/8 @ 2:00PM

Our next PIE general body meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 8 from 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM in the Amana cafeteria.  All parents are welcome and encouraged to attend.  We hope to see you there!

 


PICTURE DAYS - 10/21, 10/23 & 10/24

 

Say "cheese!" 

 

Fall pictures are scheduled for October 21st, 23rd and 24th, so be sure to mark your calendars.  We are in the process of scheduling individual grade levels and will have more information soon on which grades will have their pictures taken on which days.  Remember, Fall pictures are yearbook pictures, so all students should be in uniform on these days.

THANK YOU TO SHERWIN-WILLIAMS
We want to say a huge "Thank You!" to the Sherwin-Williams store on State Bridge Road, and to store manager Pablo, for the generous donation of paint, tape, rollers, brushes, paint trays and drop cloths for the new PIE Parent Center.
