King Career Center Informational Night Tuesday Nov 7

Dear ASD sophomores, juniors, and their parents:

On Tuesday, November 7, we are holding our first informational night about KCC’s transition to a full time school beginning in the 2018-19 school year, and you are invited!

This is a great chance to hear about and visit a school that provides excellent career and college preparation in 26 different programs.  After the presentation, you will have a better understanding of why KCC might be perfect for the last two years of high school.

Come find out how students are professionally trained, connected directly with industry, and how they gain a competitive advantage in their adventures after high school. We hope to see you here at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday evening.

Thank you.

Galapagos Intensive count down has started!

For parents and students in the Galapagos Intensive, the count down is started!!  We have 6 weeks until we will be on an airplane headed for Ecuador.  I would like to host a final parent/student meeting at Steller on November 15th at 6:00pm to make sure everyone has the contact information, all paperwork filled out, a packing list and general travel guidelines.  This meeting should take about 1/2 hour to an hour depending on paperwork.  We will be meeting in Svetlana’s room (not the relo) because hopefully there will be snow by then!  If you cannot attend, please contact me at hohnstein_rosalie@asdk12.org so that I can meet with you another time and double check that you have all of the information we will be covering at the meeting.

After School Basketball Camp – Nov  27th thru Dec 1st

Hello, my name is Cameron Snow and I’d like to invite students to an event that I am planning as part of my passage. This quarter I am hosting a week long basketball camp on November  27th through December 1st. I believe this camp is important because it can help students increase their basketball and communication skills. The camp will run from 2:30-4:00pm. 7-10th graders are able to participate, with a maximum of 20 students. The camp is FREE and each participant will receive a free T-shirt on the last day. I will hand out flyers and permission slips during the next advisory and they will be available in the office as well. The deadline for the permission slips is Friday, November 10th.  If you have any questions, please see me or email me at Snow.Cameron118@gmail.com.

Steller Band Sends Three Students to the All-State Band

Three Steller Band Students have been accepted to the All-State Band.  They are Sebastien Libbercht on trumpet; Tatiana Rogers on flute; and Kohlby Vierthlar on trombone.  The All-State Band is the highest honor that high school musicians can achieve. The students went through very competitive auditions.  “it is rare that a small school sends three students to the All-State Band,” said Mr. Toba, the band director.  “This is the 2nd year in row that Sebastien made the All-State, which is quite an accomplishment.  Tatiana and Kohlby worked very hard for the auditions, and it paid off.  I am very proud of these All-Staters.”

The All-State Gala Concert will be Saturday, November 18 at West High School.  The admission will be 10 dollars for adults and 5 dollars for students.  Public is invited.  

Cook Inlet Belugas Count – September 9, 2017

On September 9th, the National Marine Fisheries Service along with its partners is hosting the first Belugas Count! event.  It is a FREE event geared toward ALL ages. The idea behind the event is to bring citizens together to promote local pride, awareness and stewardship of the endangered Cook Inlet beluga whale. In the morning from 9 am – 12 pm, observation stations with knowledgeable volunteers will be set up along Knik and Turnagain Arms for the public to stop by, ask questions, and help look for and count beluga whales. Then from 12 pm – 5 pm, the Beluga Festival will be held at the Alaska Zoo and includes presentations, family activities, etc. .
