26th Annual Children's Hospital Auction - donations needed!
Dear
Parents and Guardians:
The
twenty-sixth annual Avonworth Children’s Hospital Auction will be held on
December 12th for high school students and on December 13th
for middle school students. Through this event, the school district raises
money for the Free Care Fund at Children’s Hospital. The Free Care Fund
provides medical treatment to children whose families otherwise could not
afford it. The fundraising campaign consists of the live auctions in the high
school and middle school, the change challenge in the elementary school and an
online auction.
In
the past, the district has raised over $20,000 a year for the Free Care Fund,
more than any other school district in the region. In order to continue this
success, donations are needed from community members and local businesses. All
donations are greatly appreciated. If you or your business would like to make a
donation, please contact Greg Wolfe (GWolfe@avonworth.k12.pa.us)
or Stephanie Springer (stephanierspringer@gmail.com).
You can also drop off donations in either room 209 in the high school or
room115 in the middle school with a label to identify the donor.
Community
members can also participate in the event by visiting our online bid page. The
online auction will be posted on www.webidz.com.
Additionally, we invite all community members to attend both of the live
auctions.
Thank
you in advance for your support in this endeavor, and we look forward to
another successful event.
Sincerely,
Stephanie
Springer, Katie Abramowich, and Rebecca Volk

Declaring Our Independence
Students confidently “declared
their independence” in reading class this past week! Because The Declaration of
Independence was meant to be read aloud, eighth graders were assigned a
short passage from the Declaration to practice reading out loud with proper
phrasing, pronunciation, emphasis and tone for our whole class ceremonial
reading. Students were given the option to memorize their passages for
extra credit.
Over the
last two weeks, students worked hard translating The Declaration into modern
day English, analyzing the impact of specific words on the text’s meaning and
tone and formally presenting their analyses to the class. As
“experts” of the text, students completed an impressive ceremonial reading of
this important document! Many students memorized their assigned passages,
and we even had a few brave souls wear colonial attire for the event.
