Each year our Leadership Students work to create events and activities that encourage their classmates to bring in money for the Vancouver School District Foundation (VSDF). The Foundation provides resources to support the basic needs of students throughout the school district. Our students take great pride in stepping up an helping raise money. Year after year I am so proud of our students recognizing the value of doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do.

Principally Speaking: October 2009 In order to help move Alki, and the other schools of Vancouver Public Schools forward, 1 hour late starts have been implemented every other week throughout our system. Our Alki team is dedicated to working as Professional Learning Communities. At each meeting we will be striving to answer the following questions: 1. What do we want students to learn? 2. How will we know when they have learned it? 3. What will we do if they don't? 4. What will we do if they already know it? Through professional dialogue and focused planning we hope to help even more students experience school success. Curtis Smith
* Please Help Alki Musicians Honor Our Veterans Do you have a family member who has served our country in the military? We will be having an assembly on Tuesday, November 10th, to honor veterans in our families and the sacrifices they made to serve our country. During the assembly, the honorees' military information will "scroll" on a screen while the band, choir and orchestra present patriotic and historical musical pieces. We would also appreciate it if you could send any stories, pictures, letters, awards, etc. We would love to include these personal touches in our Veterans Day Assembly script and PowerPoint. Please do not send originals as they do not always make it back home. Send your stories, military information (Scroll of Honor), and/or photocopies of images with your student to Alki by Friday, October 16th. You can find a "Scroll of Honor" form on Ms. Hebner's district web page. There will be some forms on the office counter as well. There is a box in the office where all information may be dropped off. You may also e-mail stories, letters, digital images and "Scroll of Honor" forms to katie.hebner@vansd.org by October 16th. Thank you for helping us to create a home-school-community connection for Alki students so they can better understand why we celebrate this important federal holiday. Katie Hebner
