When visiting the Google Calendar, you may see
impending due dates in both Reading and Math for Study Island
assignments. We allot approximately one class period per week for
students to work on Study Island, but if your child finds that this is not
enough time, or if they are absent on a given work day, please encourage them
to work on it from home! Students can visit http://www.studyisland.com/ and
get caught up at their convenience. If your child has trouble logging in,
please see Mrs. Galecki or Mrs. Costantino. Enjoy your education vacation
on Study Island!

Advertising Campaign
Eighth grade students are beginning an advertising unit in English. For this project, students will (in groups) design a product and will then develop an advertising campaign that will sell that product to their classmates. Each student will receive a paycheck for their work on the project, and will use that paycheck to buy each other’s products. The group that makes the most money and the group that sells the most products will win a prize.

Rachel's Challenge
Community Event ~ Rachel's Challenge
September 9, 2013 - 7 PM - auditorium
September 9, 2013 - 7 PM - auditorium
From the Avonworth website:
Rachel Scott was the first student killed in the 1999 Columbine High School massacre, but through the Rachel’s Promise nonprofit (http://www.rachelschallenge.org/) her life has continued to represent mutual respect and understanding in an ongoing effort to curb school bullying and violence in our schools. The Avonworth High School and Middle School will be hosting a Rachel’s Challenge community event in addition to student activities on September 9 at 7p.m. at the high school/middle school auditorium in order to share Rachel’s story and message of random acts of kindness and compassion with the general public.
On the morning of September 9, one hundred Avonworth Middle School and High School students will learn of Rachel’s story as well as undergo the Friends of Rachel Training in order to form their own Friends of Rachel’s Club and influence their peers to embrace Rachel’s message of compassion. The Rachel’s Challenge mission is to reduce potential harassing behavior among students as well as to encourage students to perform their own acts of kindness.
The community event, open to the public, will feature a Rachel’s Challenge presenter who will also tell Rachel’s story and demonstrate how individuals can spread the message of compassion.
