Dear families and friends:
The Amherst Pelham Public Schools invite you to our Fifth Annual Latino Achievement Night. The event will be on Friday, May 20, 2011 at the Amherst Middle School Auditorium at 6:30 p.m.
The program will include recognition of all Latino students in our school district and a talent showcase by our students and community members. Certificates will be given to students at transition grades (K, 6, 8, 12) who have excelled in the following categories:
Academic Achievement – This category recognizes excellence and achievement in academic work in all areas.
Community Spirit – This category recognizes students who are “all-around great kids”; these students are a positive influence on their peers, are thoughtful, respectful, and inclusive in a variety of settings (class room, clubs, sports, playground, etc.)
Effort – This category embodies students who demonstrate hard work, perseverance, determination and a great love of learning.
Leadership – This category embodies students who take initiative in one or more of the following areas: academics, sports, clubs, community service (in and out of school).
Progress- This category recognizes students who have shown great improvement in academic subjects, attendance and/or behavior.
This is an open invitation to all families and friends. We hope you join us to celebrate the achievements of our Latino Students! After the ceremony we will serve refreshments. If you have any questions, please call my assistant, Mildred Martinez, at 362-1871 or e-mail her at martinezm2@arps.org. Thanks for your support!
Cordially,
