Arts Day
Sunday, January 13th - 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Arts' Weekend Sarasota 2008 will
culminate with the 18th Annual Arts' Day - our jubilant celebration of
Sarasota County's vast and diverse artistic offerings. Consistently
named as one of the "Best of the Best" by Sarasota Magazine, Arts' Day
attracts over 25,000 art and culture enthusiasts from across the globe
to downtown Sarasota. With a creatively redesigned festival map,
multiple performance stages, hundreds of artists and craftsmen, and
dozens of culinary vendors, downtown will boast a veritable feast of
sensory delights. This year's event will combine all the successful
aspects of Arts' Days past with inspired ideas from top local and
regional talent to encourage every resident and visitor to experience
and participate in the many facets of art that we, as a community,
cherish.
We need volunteers for the day. This is
an excellent way to earn volunteer hours. We traditionally host a craft
table for the youngsters that attend. This year we will be offering bead
art for them to create their own bracelets and we need parents to assist
them. I will take volunteers for one or two hour shifts throughout the
day.

Scholastic Book Fair
April 30-May 4
Our Scholastic Book
Fair is scheduled for Monday, April 30th - Friday, May 4th. We invite
you to our school to share in this celebration of books and reading.
Not only does this event help raise funds to purchase essential
classroom resources, it encourages reading among our students.
As students grow
older, it is so important to keep books in their lives. Students who
remain readers now are more likely to be lifelong learners. Readers
develop larger vocabularies, a greater knowledge of the world, and
higher academic achievement. In fact, studies indicate that being a
reader is more predictive of success than intelligence, economic
background, or gender.
Our Book Fair provides
a wide variety of age-appropriate books specifically
selected to appeal to middle school tastes and interests. Students
will discover books that are fun, entertaining, inspirational, and a
resource for dealing with real-life experiences and emerging
emotions. In addition, our Fair will have bestsellers that adults
will find interesting and useful.
A special Family
Event will be held on Thursday, May 3rd, from 6-8 PM at the SSAS
Family Picnic. Come browse and find books for the whole family,
especially selections that can help your child stay connected with
reading. At our Fair, we will also have a Classroom Wish List board
on display for anyone interested in helping our teachers add more
books to their classroom library shelves. Classroom libraries
reinforce positive learning environments and provide all students with
greater access to books.
If for some reason you
are not able to attend the Fair in person, we encourage you to discuss
the Book Fair with your child to determine what books he or she may
want to add to their personal collection.

7th Grade Edison Ford Field Trip
Ft. Myers
This field trip is scheduled for Thursday, March 22nd. This is the
Thursday before spring break. The students received a permission slip.
All students are expected to participate on this trip, unless
their families plan to start their spring vacation earlier than the
scheduled days off determined by the Board of Education. Many of the
teachers will be scheduled to be on the trip as chaperones, so all 7th
grade students will be off campus. There will be a small fee for this
trip, for transportation and admission fee. All information will be
listed on the permission slip. Please return this permission slip no
later than Friday, March 1st with payment. I need a final count of
students so that I can determine how many coaches I need. The coach
company has already called asking me to confirm the number of students
and chaperones. If your child is not participating on this trip and will
not be in school that day, please notify me immediately. You can also
notify their history teacher.
This is a wonderful educational trip and a nice time for the 7th
graders to get together before the end of the year.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to e-mail.
Once I have teachers and staff in place for chaperones, I will ask for
parent chaperones if needed.

YMCA After School
Program
In an effort to
maintain a secure and safe environment for your child, we here at SSA+S have
implemented the YMCA After School Program, it is mandatory that all
unsupervised students attend this program, beginning at 4PM. If a student is
not with either a teacher, for a scheduled meeting or club, or with their
parents, at this time, then they are sent immediately to the cafeteria and
you will be charged a $10 fee. The Y will not remove these charges, even if
you are there within minutes. The school is not responsible for this fee,
nor for the inconvenience, due to a ride being late. Please understand that
all students must be supervised and that this program ensures the safety of
your child. I understand that several students and parents have made “special
arrangements” for students to be supervised in the office or by a teacher,
outside of their classroom. This will no longer be permitted. Beginning
Tuesday, December 6th, all students will be put into the cafeteria at 4PM,
no "special arrangements" will be allowed. As a parent, it is
critical that I am confident that my children are safe and supervised.
I am surprised that any parent would object to pay a small sum of money for
this program. In my mind, with what has already transpired in our
county, it is a small price to pay to know that your child is in a safe and
secure environment.
Thank
you for your attention to this matter,

Now that I have your attention, the science department is in need of

categories for science fair include the following:
Animal Sciences
Earth Science
Behavioral and Social Science
Medicine and Health Science
Engineering
Physics and Astronomy
Plant Sciences (botany)

We are looking for parents, guardians, and/or mentors that would be
willing to come in for an hour and a half to two hours to help judge our
science fair projects. The school's science fair will be held at the
Helmsley Sandcastle Hotel on Lido Beach. This is a fun way to see what
the students at SSA+S worked on and also a great way to earn your
volunteer hours. If you are interested please contact your child's
science teacher or Mr. Hernandez at CarlosHernandez@ssas.org or 330-1855

Hello SSA+S
Community!
The SSA+S Language Arts
Department, with the assistance of the members of Student Council and
National Junior Honor Society, will be hosting a table at the Sarasota
Reading Festival. We are very excited for this opportunity and want to
thank the PTSS for purchasing this space. We will be making and decorating
bookmarks with the children that visit the fair and will need parent
volunteers to assist in supervision. We will also need those parents of
the Student Council and NJHS students to pick up and drop off their
children. Lastly, we would love any donations of googly eyes, foam
stickers, glitter pens, stickers, etc. that can be easily affixed to the
bookmarks; we would prefer for items with adhesive on them, so that the
children do not have to wait for them to dry.
Lastly, we would like to request , even if you do not volunteer, that you
attend this wonderful festival which celebrates the love of literature!
Many authors visit the fair, every child and adult alike receives a free
novel of their choosing, and there are many free activities that will show
your children the importance and richness of reading.
The Sarasota Reading Festival is free and will be held downtown, in
Sarasota, at Five Points Park, from 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM, on Saturday,
November 4th. Please go to this link for more information

Breaking a Worlds Record
On Thursday, September 28, SSA+S students had the opportunity
to be part of a World Record Breaking Event! Through a live broadcast with
Governor Bush, we helped to break the record for the Most Number of People
Reading Aloud Simultaneously in Multiple Locations, when we read a passage from
Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. Our students
and staff showed their enthusiasm for this event by dressing in costumes related
to Peter Pan. Check out some of the great pictures of this fun event! Thanks to
all who helped in this effort.
