New location for ASTEC High School Graduation
|
|
|
Recent heavy rains threw a curve-ball at ASTEC's administrative team this week, damaging First Presbyterian Church enough that the church had to cancel all events planned there for a few weeks.
That meant our fearless leader Dr. Freda Deskin was on the phone immediately securing a great new location for our graduation ceremony.
Commencement will now be held at Oklahoma City Community College's Visual and Performing Arts Center Theater,
7777 S May Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73159. Click here for a map.
The times for the event will not change.

T is for talented that you surely are
E is for explaining so patiently
A is for the ability to make the class fun
C is for correcting us when we were wrong
H is for helping us in every way
E is for encouraging us to do our best
R is for rare, there is only one of you!
Teacher Appreciation Week is May 8 to 12, and ASTEC's fine teachers will receive a token of their students', administrators' and the community's appreciation for the all-encompassing work educators do every day, helping shape the futures of each student with whom they work.

Maker Clubs wind to a close for summer
|
|
|
Not many middle school or high school students would openly admit during summer that they miss school, but this year, we're willing to be there will be quite a few scholars missing their Makers Clubs! As the clubs wound down last week for the year, many celebrated their experiences with end-of-the-year parties.
Ms. Clarissa Urbina's Creative Journaling Makers Club had a downright elegant tea party to toast their time together artfully journaling their school year among friends.
Makers Clubs were a big success this year, thanks to the dedication of Mr. Chase Alexander to his work coordinating the clubs and the teachers who volunteered their time and talent to head up their clubs.

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action).
Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
