Noontime Enrichment Fun!

Noontime Enrichment is a program created by the Troy PTA. This is a warm, educational and fun alternative to going outside during the cold and rainy/snowy months. One day of each week there will be a new guided STEM/STEAM, creative or sports related activity. Students are able to sign up for each individual activity, which will take place in the Media Center at Recess time. We will monitor the weather and try to offer each week's activity on a day where the kids would most likely have indoor recess. Students had the opportunity to learn more about Noontime Enrichment, see examples of these activities, and sign up for the activities during their lunch time on Tuesday, February 25th. If your student missed it or is unsure whether they signed up, please utilize the sign up genius below.

We are about half way through our activities - we had a Blooket quiz for the kids on 2/20, a Magnet making activity 2/27 and a virtual escape room on 3/5. All students were welcome and reminded via announcements.

We are looking for some flexible volunteers to help out with a couple of these fun activities. The time frame for these events runs from 11:30-1:40 pm. Please consider lending your time (even if you can only come for part of the time - it's totally flexible). Weekly volunteer sign-ups will be for the "week of" the date listed. As stated above, the dates will be weather dependent, so if you are only available for certain days that week, please indicate in the comments section.

Feel free to contact Katie McClain at kmcclain811@gmail.com with any questions or concerns!

Thanks so much!

A NOTE FROM THE NURSE

6th Grade Parents and Guardians:

The Ohio Department of Health immunization requirements include a dose of TDaP (tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis) and MCV-4 – Meningococcal (Meningitis) to be given prior to entering 7th Grade. The TDaP dose is intended as a booster for students who completed the required doses of DTaP prior to age 7.

We are contacting you early so you have time to discuss any questions regarding TDaP and MCV-4 with your child’s doctor and to ensure that immunizations are in place prior to starting 7th grade.

As part of our Music class curriculum, the 6th-graders will be preparing and presenting a musical performance in May. This is separate from the band, orchestra, and choir concerts. The "6th Grade Show" will be a collaboration of musical talents of our 6th-grade students. This is our only large project grade for Music class, so all students are expected to participate. If you have an unavoidable conflict with the performance date, or other questions/concerns, please contact Mrs. Brown at maria.brown@alcsoh.org

MAY 19, 7PM at ALHS- ALL students on team Captains, plus Glaciers who have music Monday or Tuesday

MAY 20, 7PM at ALHS- ALL students on team Coastal Crew, plus Glaciers who have Music Wednesday or Friday

During the week of March 10th, 2025 our school will hold a Hoops For Heart event during your child’s physical education class. Students will have an opportunity to compete in a free throw and knockout contest. Boys and girls are separate for knockout and 5th and 6th grades are separate for both contests. These events are held at schools nationwide.

The American Heart Association is dedicated to helping people live longer, healthier lives. The money we raise helps people in our community learn how to avoid heart disease and stroke and also helps our local patient care. Our school will qualify for gift certificates for free physical education equipment based on the amount we raise. Our school goal is to raise $5,000. Please see chart below.

We are asking each family to make one tax deductible donation in any amount you can contribute. No donation is too small. If you can contribute please send in cash or a check in a clearly marked envelope with "American Heart Association donation" and your child’s first and last name, or donate online. Students will work on their online fundraising page during media with Mr. Arebaugh.

This page must be set up at home with parental permission given ahead of time:

Hoops For Heart is a fun event that helps our children understand the importance of community service and physical activity while helping to save lives. Our efforts truly make a difference!

Sincerely,

Ms. Juergens

Our students learned valuable skills, gained insights into various industries, and made connections to their learning in meaningful ways.

As the weather starts to get cold please be sure that students are coming to school prepared to go outside if the temperature and wind chill factor is above 20 degrees Fahrenheit. We will monitor the conditions daily.

Report an Absence:

If your child will be absent from school, please remember to email Christine.klein@alcsoh.org or call (440) 930-8297.

When reporting an absence please give the student’s name, homeroom and reason for the absence.
