The Kingshill School

1)  The award ceremony today at Government House has been changed to                          
3:30 PM (rather than 5:00).  Abigail Vidale will receive the award on                                        
behalf of her team for 2nd place in the First Lady’s Health Initiative competition. Abigail’s mother, Ann Marie Vidale, Nora Santana (teacher/advisor on the project) and Janie will also attend.

2)  Tomorrow morning The First Lady will be speaking on Ann Golden’s radio program (station WSTX).  Mrs. deJongh has asked Abigail and Dale to join here on the program to speak about the competition in which they were involved.     I believe the program begins about 8:45.  A TV station will also be there to film.

3)  Following the radio program, Bonnie Anderson has arranged for her Journalism class to interview Mrs. deJongh at the radio station (not on the air). The class consists of:  Jessica Belardo, Emile Brin, Dale
Donowa, and Heather Petersen.

4)  The team representing the school before the judges at the Ag Fair is:  Shalom Fenton (7th) , James Clifford (8th), and Heather Petersen (9th).  The judging occurs sometime after 3:30 at the Fair grounds.
Ms. Sue is the faculty advisor to the group.
Our booth is #28….same place as last year.  Students and faculty will be on hand at various times during the 3 Fair days….as well as our lamb, King.

Ms. Marla’s Art History Class with the help of Ms. Jan’s class have also entered the sawhorse competition.  Look for “The 3 Little Pigs”!

5)  Friday morning students will be attending the Art Show at Good Hope School.  We leave by bus at

9:15 and return by 11:00.                                             

6)  Also, Friday morning, 3 students have been selected to have breakfast

with Senator Sanes.  Also at the breakfast will be NASA astronaut Leland Melvin.  The students attending are:  James Clifford, Jakeem Phillip, and Roger Whitcher.  Ms. Janie will also attend.

7)  This week is Secret Valentine Week.  Planned by 10th grade girls, Jessica Belardo, Nadia McCanless, Abigail, Vidale, and Eboni Watts.  Students have drawn names of fellow students to secretly treat during
the week.  Friday afternoon there will be a Valentine Party when names are revealed followed by water balloon volleyball and yummy desserts. Thank you to parents who have already signed up to help with desserts!

It’s a great week!!  Hope yours is, too!
