If you missed the volunteer orientations held on Curriculum Night in August, the school has scheduled upcoming monthly orientations. Volunteer orientations ARE REQUIRED for volunteers who interact regularly with students, including crew parents, class readers, club volunteers, or field study chaperones.

At the orientation, you will learn how to be a volunteer at Amana, get help with filling required paperwork, and be able to ask any questions you have about volunteering. You will also learn whether your specific volunteer duties will require a background check, and be given instructions on how to get one.

Volunteer orientations will be held monthly from 12 - 1 PM on the following Fridays. All orientations take place at the North Fulton Chamber of Commerce, 11605 Haynes Bridge Rd #100, Alpharetta, GA 30009.

Haven't fulfilled your 10-hour volunteer requirement yet? Or maybe you just want to be a part of Amana's biggest event of the year? Volunteer at World Day and help make it a success!

Sign up here!

Come to Amana Academy's World Day this Saturday, October 25 and take a tour of all the cultures that make up the Amana community! World Day will be held 11 AM -2 PM (note time change) at school. Bring your students to scavenge the country booths for facts and get their "passports" stamped as they tour the world. Then stop in the cafeteria to watch local entertainment on stage while you sample foods from a variety of cuisines.

Entrance is FREE. Food and henna will be available for purchase.

Amana's Executive Director, Ehab Jaleel, will also be delivering the State of the School address during the event. This annual address is an update on Amana's achievements since last year, and our progress in implementing new strategies and programs.

World Day is a reincarnation of Amana's traditional International Festival. This year, we are aiming to return to the roots of the event as it existed in the early days of our school, when the focus was on tasting and experiencing the cultures of the world. A carnival-type event is scheduled for the spring and will coincide with the Squawk & Walk fundraiser.

This is the last week to send in your Box Tops for Education for the contest. All Box Tops must be turned in by Friday, October 24th to count toward this Fall's collection contest. The winning class gets a Sky-Zone party!

Please do not tape or staple Box Tops or labels to anything, and be sure expiration date is not ripped off of the Box Tops. Thank you for supporting Amana!

Amana is participating in the Tyson Project A+™ program, sponsored by Tyson Foods, Inc. Through this program, we can raise up to $12,000 for our school this year!

Here's how it works: Just clip and collect Tyson Project A+ labels from participating TysonŽ product packages and send them to school with your Box Tops for Education. Please be sure to send in the whole label, not just the Project A+ symbol. We'll collect the labels and send them to Tyson Foods, and Tyson Foods will send our school a check. Each label is worth 24˘!

Contact Tracie Burr at amanayearbook@gmail.com to answer any questions you have about the program. You can also find details, including the list of participation products, online athttp://ProjectAPlus.tyson.com.
