SCHOOL NEWS AND ACTIVITIES

 

TOMORROW NIGHT!
UPPER SCHOOL DRAMA PRESENTS
ARTHUR MILLER'S "THE CRUCIBLE" 

TOMORROW!  SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH 
7:00-10:00 pm 
PLAYHOUSE ON THE PARK 
(1850 N. Central Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85004) 
$10 tickets still available on SMART for Charter 
The Upper School Drama class tackles Arthur Miller's 1953 drama,
The Crucible.  Born from the Red Scare, Miller's play takes the leading players from the 1692 Salem witch trials  and fictionalizes their motivations for such terror.   Miller suggests that young Abigail Williams led a wicked plot to unravel the married farmer, John Proctor, who spurned her heart.  This community is torn apart by lies, persecution, and sheer malice.  Miller's play brings the school community the tried and true message:  Stand up for what you believe in, even when the whole world is at your back.
Mature Language and Material.  Parental Discretion Advised.
ANNUAL TEACHER FUND
WEEK OF GIVING BEGINS NEXT WEEK 
FALL WEEK OF GIVING: ANNUAL TEACHER FUND
Next week marks BASIS Scottsdale's Fall Week of Giving, our bi-annual drive for donations to the Annual Teacher Fund (ATF). The ATF is a critical component in helping the school compensate the teachers for their achievements and hard work in supporting our students. Please consider making a donation during this week. For the year, BASIS Scottsdale hopes to raise $1,500 per student to help close the gap in funding between public district schools and public charter schools. They recognize that some may be able to give more and others less. There is no donation that is too small, and they appreciate any support given to the school, financial or in service.

On Monday your students will receive ATF donation cards to bring home. Please review those and return the card to the school. Alternatively, you can make your donation online anytime - CLICK HERE TO DONATE.
For those with questions, CLICK HERE FOR ATF FAQ distributed by the school.


FALL WEEK OF GIVING EVENT

Monday, November 10th, 4:00pm-5:00pm
TEACHER BIOGRAPHY SCAVENGER HUNT (for students only)
Interested students should meet in the Lower School cafeteria at 4:00pm to hear the explanation of the game. Students will be given a list of facts about the teachers and they will go around the school reading each teacher's biographies (posted on their classroom doors) to match up each teacher with the fact. There will be prizes for the first 3 students to get 100% correct. This event is free.



DONATIONS NEEDED 

As we approach cold and flu season, we would like to help our school stock up on kleenex and Lysol wipes. We are asking our families to donate these items by dropping them off in the school lobby.  Thank you!
