Helping our Titan Families in Need
Yes, it's that time of year! If you would like to take on a charitable cause this holiday season, please consider donating a gift card for a deserving Titan family. Ms. Hanley works with Arcadia families every day and knows which ones would most benefit from your generous gift. ANY gift card is of value, but we have found that Fry's gift cards are particularly useful, because they sell everything from food to school supplies to health and beauty aids, and there are stores accessible to all. Again NO gift card is too small. Gift cards can be dropped off at the front desk in the Main Office of Arcadia. Thanks for considering this request!

Multi-Age Seminar
THIS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4 @ 2:30 PM
ANLC has always been a multi-age school but it has not always been clear what that really means. We have been working on re-defining what this looks like at ANLC and how we can further support it. ANLC is privileged to host Dr. Sandra Stone, multi-age education expert, for a community information meeting. Dr. Stone will be sharing information with our school community on what multi-age really means. She will talk about the multi-age education philosophy, sharing about her work at ANLC and answering questions related to multi-age.
Our plan is to video record the session for those who cannot attend. Her book Creating the Multiage Classroom is also a great resource to learn more.
All parents are encouraged to attend!
