at 10amDear Thories,
What a wild time to be alive - a global pandemic, a fight for our democracy, climate change, a social justice movement, and high school. You are becoming young adults as our country and world transform. I'm so glad to know you as this nation's future leaders and citizens. In the words of Barack Obama this past spring, "this is your generation’s world to shape."
As we enter into this very uncertain school year, know THIS certainty: You are students in a school with teachers who care deeply about you and about meaningful work and change, and we will work hard to support you. And while your junior teachers will be supporting you in many ways - academically and more - I also enthusiastically have your backs! While we won't be able to meet in person, I'm looking forward to connecting with you virtually: seeing your faces, hearing about your experiences, and witnessing you stepping into your power as upperclassmen at AHS and as growing young adults. Definitely call or email me if you have a question, a concern, or would just like to chat.
Finally, keep a heads up for occasional Google Meets as a whole advisory - our first one will be at 10am on Wednesday, Sept 2nd. I'll do my best to answer any questions regarding the start of school, the hybrid model, etc., before you start in on classes. Be there! In general regarding our advisory meetings, you'll always get an email invitation, and they'll also be posted on the calendar below. I'm looking forward to connecting with you soon.
