It’s Not the Plane, it’s the Pilot! 2024-25 School Theme
Wednesday, September 4, 2024
Aviators,
As we step into this new month, I want to remind you that the first term will wrap up on October 16th, which is just a month and a half away. To support your student’s success, I encourage you to review their Skyward assignments together every week. If you have any concerns or questions, please reach out to their teachers early. It’s disheartening to see students wait until the end of the term to submit assignments. Regular feedback from teachers is key to meaningful learning, helping students retain knowledge more effectively. Smaller, consistent efforts throughout the term make learning more authentic and provide ample opportunity for discussion and growth.
1. Admin Message this Week.
This week, Assistant Principal Bill Sivert shares a valuable lesson from his service in the United States Marine Corps. You can view his message here.
2. Military Recognition
Our Student Council wants to honor military veterans within our community. If you have family members who would like to be recognized at an upcoming ceremony (time and date to be announced), please nominate them on this form.

4. Floral of the Month!
It’s that time of the semester! Floral of the Month sign-up is available HERE, with a deadline of September 12. Thank you to everyone who has supported this program in the past. Our students love creating these arrangements, and we hope you’ve enjoyed them just as much!
For those new or unsure how the program works:
This program provides more opportunities for our students in Floral Design courses to fine-tune their arranging skills. Without this program, our students would only be able to complete 3 or 4 small arrangements for the entire semester. Floral of the month allows them to make larger arrangements and gain experience with different types of flowers!
Sign-up is available at the beginning of each semester. Each month, our floral design students create a seasonal arrangement, which we offer to you at wholesale cost. This gives students more practice, and you get a beautiful monthly flower arrangement at a fraction of the retail price! The cost is $120, including tax (an average of $30 per month for four months: September-December), paid in full by September 12. This is not a profit-making venture; the entire amount goes toward flowers and accessories. (If you prefer to make monthly payments, please email me to arrange that, though you must commit to all four months.)
