Your Monthly Message from Principal Fish... |
Hello Eagle Families,
December has arrived and this year, it's extra special! We are finally returning to our in-person holiday traditions, including our National Award Winning Flight Choir who is performing in the BPAC, Dec 8-11. The flyer is below and tickets can be purchased at ByrnesPerformingArts.org. If you can, get your tickets and ENJOY the wonderful sounds of the season with Flight!
December also means the holiday break has arrived and this is a great time for those with missing / late work to get caught up. Yes, we want kids to take time off and to enjoy the family time, absolutely! But if your son or daughter is behind or failing any courses, have them make a plan with those teachers to target specific work that will get them to passing by January. Our first semester ends on January 28, so there's still time to catch up... but it will take some additional effort for sure. Set aside an hour or two on a day or two during the break. Connect with what's happening in their courses and help Every Eagle succeed! We can do this... If your son or daughter is passing all of their courses, this is 100% a "time away." Each year I ask teachers to be mindful of family time and the kindness of letting the break truly be a break. Some reading? Sure. Major projects, papers, etc? Nothing new over this time frame in terms of homework is the goal. Now more than ever, we all need a rest if we can afford it! Again, if it's an opportunity to close a gap...Seize it!
Have a wonderful holiday break and enjoy your time as a family!

Character Strong - It Takes All of US! |
|
The Family Character Dare of the Month is... |
|
The Hard Thing Rule!
This dare is one WE ALL NEED each year! Be intentional about your passion in life and commit to pursuing it! Try it and encourage Every Eagle!
For the kids, our Weekly Character Dare is generally posted in the Commons, but we also share it on social media via @AHSFlyEaglesFly (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) where we have over 7,000 subscribers who can be view these dares daily (just not during No Tech Time - lol). By working on these dares together and talking about them, we grow closer and more connected. The kids get this opportunity together in Friday's Every Eagle Advisory. The Staff have Weekly Dares too! The more WE do as adults, the more THEY do as kids. Family Dares simply tie it all together... here's Character Strong's C.A.R.E approach! It's a fun, simple approach to building Every Eagle's Commitment, Patience, Humility, Selflessness, Kindness, Respect, Honesty and Forgiveness - traits that lead to success beyond AHS. Enjoy your monthly Family Dares!
