• We are very happy to announce that Ana Maria Hernandez, current I-C assistant, who joined The American School this year, along with her husband Ismael,has been recently nominated for an Emmy Award on a special news report she did while working for the local Spanish TV station KTVW Univision in Arizona. As one of the station's news reporter, Ana did a piece that deals with a small community in the border town of Nogales where groups of families depend on the trash deposited daily in the town's landfill. Ana's way of portraying the dignity and ability for survival of these families has won her a nomination for this year's NATAS Rocky Mountain Emmy. We are very proud of Ana and honored to have her among our staff. The winner will be announced October 24th. We will keep you posted!
• The Values "charla" for parents last Thursday was a big success. Thank you to the 60 parents who represented the Elementary. Emotional Intelligence is a topic well researching. Thank you again!!
• A huge THANK YOU to all the parents who wait for their children on the rotunda in the front parking area and at the cafeteria in the back. Dismissal is so much more orderly and much safer for your children. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
