Principal's Message
Just For You
Endless Echoes
Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless.
~ Saint Teresa
Each kind word we offer to another person creates a ripple effect. Research has shown us that those who receive kindness are more apt to bestow kindness to others. Isn't it fascinating to consider where your kind words may have landed? Kind words travel through school walls, into homes, neighborhoods, across generations and into hearts. Something so seemingly simple can have so much impact.
Creating a more caring world must start somewhere. You can be a catalyst for kindness in a world where too much mean-spiritedness abounds, so let your home be a kindness chamber. Be the source of endless echoes of kindness.
With something to think about . . .
Sincerely,
Daniel P. Weishar
Principal

Counseling Corner
In honor of AFHS student, Keaton Smith, there is a new scholarship for graduating senior athletes this year: #carelikekeat. This scholarship is for any AFHS athletes (of one or more sport) who have displayed genuine kindness while participating on an AF High athletic team. This is to honor the kindness and positive qualities that so many people remember about Keaton. Students who want to apply need to submit a letter of recommendation from a coach and teacher. Applications are available in the AFHS Counseling Office. Application deadline is April 20, 2018. The winner will be presented the award at our Senior Recognition Night on May 16, 2018.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
HOPE PANTRY
Student Council is starting a
Hope Pantry
that will provide for students in need at our school. The plan is that as students meet with their advocate or counselor and a need is identified, that the counselor or advocate can take the student to the pantry and provide them with the supplies they need. Student Council would like to stock the pantry with basic hygiene products such as deodorant, brushes, hair ties, toothbrushes, toothpaste, feminine products, shampoo, conditioner, and bars of soap. Lightly used clothing, such as pants, shirts, jackets, and formal wear for dances. They would also appreciate new clothing including underwear and socks. School supplies and non-perishable food will also be included in the pantry. Because this is a new project, we ask for your help to stock these supplies. If you are willing to help out our cause, please donate any of the above products by bringing them to the Front Office. Thank you!
PRESCHOOL
Calling all parents of preschool aged children! We would love to have your potty trained 3-5 year old children join us at Cavekids Preschool! This preschool runs here at the high school every A day but Mondays for around 2 and a half hours. We go on field trips, eat snacks and have a lot of fun!

Dance Company's Spring Concert, "On Broadway", is April 12 & 13 at 7:00 PM
in the AFHS auditorium. The students picked this theme in excitement for their NYC Dance Tour which happened a couple of weeks ago. All dances performed on the concert are inspired by Broadway musicals. Tickets are $5.00 or $3.00 with a student ID. A family pass is $20.
While in NYC, Dance Company took amazing master classes at the Broadway Dance Center as well as Alvin Ailey Dance Studios, performed in front of approximately 2 million people in the NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade, saw Aladdin and Lion King on Broadway, visited the Statue of Liberty, 9-11 Museum, Rockefeller Plaza, Central Park, Top of the Rock, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Grand Central Station, walked the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan, and much more! We were busy from morning until night and had the most phenomenal experiences. To see more pictures from our incredible trip, follow afhs_danceco on Instagram. And don't miss Dance Co's beautiful dancers in our Spring concert April 12 & 13!
