The Rapids Report
November 28th, 2022
Dear STrEaM Families,
This week we will begin Winter MAP testing in Advisory. MAP gives us useful data on Reading and Math for each of our students, and helps to inform their classes, supports and options.
There will be a ski team meeting after school on Thursday. Any interested skiers should be there!

We have a wonderful opportunity to earn some money for STrEaM by partnering with Barnes and Noble on December 4th! STrEaM volunteers will bring cheer to the store in the form of a craft table, free gift wrapping, face painting (?), and well, send me a suggestion! When customers check out and mention our school, we receive a percentage of the profit.
Here is the link for sign-up genius. Please fill in a slot and join in the fun! If you have any questions, my email is hayden_rebekah@asdk12.org If you can’t volunteer, make sure to come by and do some holiday shopping! :) Thanks, everybody!
Upcoming TREK for 8th Grade
8th Graders will travel via bus to the West High Pool on Tuesday, December 13th to test their cardboard boats. Please complete the online permission form: Regatta Permission. We are also looking for donations of large pieces of cardboard for building boats and chaperones for the event!
Upcoming TREK for 6th Grade
Our 6th graders are bussing to the UAA Planetarium! December 20th from 10-2. Every student needs to have a permission slip and pay the $10.00 bus/ticket fee. Complete the online permission slip: Planetarium Permission and bring the $10 fee in cash or check to Mrs. Biondich.
Lunch at STrEaM
Please be sure your child packs a lunch. We do not have a lunch program or lunchroom. Lunch is generally outdoors unless the weather is prohibitive. 45% of our students come from economically disadvantaged homes and we hope to help them with free lunches when necessary. We have been serving between 8 and 17 lunches per day this month. If you are able to help providing these here is the sign-up: Nov / Dec Lunch Donations
