The Secondary School Information Fair was a Huge Success!
We wish the Class of 2017 the best of luck as they begin the search and application process. If you have questions regarding this adventure, please call Mrs. Earls. She is always happy to help families!
The Travelers Create a "Living Scarecrow" Experiment
This week, Ms. McNierney's 2nd grade class learned that when birds grow accustomed to feeding in the presence of a scarecrow in the garden, they will continue to feed in comfort, even when the scarecrow is switched out for a real, live second grader...or a real, live teacher!

Academy Hill to Host Open House for Interested Families
On Tuesday, November 15, Academy Hill School will host an Open House from 6:00 - 7:30. Families will have an opportunity to tour the facility, speak with administration and staff, and learn more about our premier programs. If you know of a family interested in AHS, please pass along the information. Anyone who RSVPs by November 1 will receive a gift at the Open House. Interested families may RSVP via email to mearls@academyhill.org, or call the school.

Please print the attached Open House flyer and distribute it to your family and friends, or hang it in a high traffic area in your city or town.  Many coffee shops, libraries, town halls or grocery stores have a public notice display. Help us spread the word about Academy Hill. We have an exemplary school! Let's share our news with others!

Parents Association News
Thank you to the Parents Association for bringing the Scholastic Book Fair to our school.  Our students and teachers always enjoy this opportunity to browse the book selection and choose their favorites. As a reminder, the Book Fair concludes today!

School Photos are scheduled for next Tuesday and Wednesday, October 25 and 26. Order forms were sent home in "Friday Folders," but are also available at the front desk. The school photo will be taken on Tuesday. Due to a field trip on Wednesday, Grades 2, 3, 4 and 5, and any sibling combination involving students in these grades, will have photos taken on Tuesday.

Annual Fund
Remember to support the Academy Hill School Annual Fund this fall! Giving to the Annual Fund is the best way to directly impact a student's experience at AHS. Tuition alone does not cover the operating costs at Academy Hill. This makes gifts to the Annual Fund critical to the mission of our school.
 
Your gift to the Annual Fund is tax deductible. Additionally, many local employers offer a matching gift program to encourage employees to contribute to non-profit organizations. Make sure you check with your employer to see if a matching gift is available. 
 
Academy Hill Director of Development, Melissa Pevay, will be reaching out to all AHS families this fall to answer questions and ask for your participation. The schools' Board of Trustees and faculty/staff have already committed to this year's Annual Fund. Join them today! Complete and return the pledge form you received in the mail. Gifts can also be made online anytime, using this link.



Final words...
Thank you to all of the families who attended Parent-Teacher Conferences this week. Communication and cooperation between school and home is critical to student success.

Please make sure your Grandfriends have marked their calendars: Grandfriends Day is Friday, November 4!

Please, as always, remember to BE NICE!
