From the desk of Principal Papes
Dear Alto Families,
We’ve had another fantastic week here! Our students have established great routines and our classroom learning communities are thriving. I continue to be impressed with the high quality teaching and learning I see taking place every day. We continue to reinforce to our students that they are Safe, Thoughtful, Accountable, and Respectful as Alto Alto Stars. They are doing a great job in all settings within our school. We have amazing kids! Thank you for all that you do to prepare them for success each day.
Pink Arrow
Happy Pink Arrow #17! We had a great Pep Assembly this morning with high school students from the marching band, boys soccer, volleyball, football and cheer visiting. For more information about Pink Arrow, please visit http://www.pinkarrowpride.org/ to learn more. We hope to see you at the Pink Arrow Football Game tonight!
Ice Cream Social – Thursday, September 19th- 6:00-8:00 PM
Alto Families are invited to the school on the evening of September 19th from 6:00-8:00 PM for an ice cream social. The Lowell High School Fusion Rock Orchestra will be performing. Due to the success of our fundraising efforts, this is a free event for our families. However, we will have a Spare Change War at the event! “Join the Change Wars; Transform spare change into school success! Bring your spare change to sprinkle in the grade bucket of your choice! All donations will benefit future school sanctioned events.” We are excited to again be hosting this event!
