From The head of School
Bonne année!
Bonne année! Happy New Year AL community!
I hope you and your family enjoyed your break and are ready for 2019. As we enter the second half of the school year, we have planned many exciting events for our community. On January 30, Mayor Sly James will be our guest of honor for the Armour building ribbon-cutting ceremony. We have also scheduled many other events to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Académie Lafayette.
Next week, the principals will meet parents over morning coffee at Oak, Armour and Cherry. Please join me for the Armour Parent-Principal Coffee on Tuesday, January 15th, 2019.
Thank you for your amazing support of our school.

Dear Parents: If you have a child entering kindergarten in the fall of 2019, now is the time to apply. The process will take you less than one minute!
(This is different from last year's link.)
To be fair and transparent with all prospective families, we want to be able to tell them how many seats are available and how many seats will be taken by siblings. Your help is essential. Please fill out an application for your kindergarten sibling today.
The deadline to apply is Friday, March 1st at 4:00 p.m. Sibling applications received after this deadline will be placed on the waiting list.
After you fill out your child's application, tell your friends and neighbors
with an incoming kindergartener to do the same.

Calling all Cherry Street campus families!! To celebrate reading and the importance of reading, parents, grandparents and special family members or friends of K-3 Cherry campus students are invited to be a guest reader for their child's class. Reading may be done in French or English. We hope to have two volunteers in every room. This special volunteer reading opportunity will take place during the week of Monday, January 28. Volunteers will join us on Monday, January 28, - Thursday, January 31 from 10:45 - 11:15 am. Once a volunteer is done sharing a book, they are encouraged to donate that book to their child's class. A sign up sheet, via Google docs, will be sent out from the homeroom teachers. Please sign up using this document. This is a great opportunity for school community building, and we look forward to your participation.

Congratulations! CEAM announced that AL 8th grader Mouhamed Mbengue made it into the top three of the Edu-Talk Video Contest.
Since coming back from break, the girls this week played a scrimmage against Pembroke Hill in preparation for a busy end of the season. After the game, the girls and coaches voted seventh grader Lacey Lepper as player of the week! Lacey is hands down our most improved player and is always working on becoming a better player individually and as a part of the team.
