We are hosting school tours on Tuesdays at 10 am throughout the month of February and our student ambassador leaders are traveling to our feeder elementary schools to present to 5th graders. If you know someone who is interested in sending their kids to STrEaM next year, please pass on the school tour invite or have them contact us directly for more information.
6th Grade TREK to Downtown Anchorage
6th Grade parents: please complete the field trip permission form (LINKED HERE) for our upcoming 6th grade Downtown Memorial Tour/TREK on Wed, March 8! This is happening on a “full Wednesday.” School is 8:00-3:00 that day. During the TREK, students will investigate connections to Social Studies and Language Arts projects with the questions: What impact do monuments have on the way we think about history? What impact do these monuments have on the physical landscape?
Also, WE NEED PARENT CHAPERONES! Please email smith_emily@asdk12.org if you are interested/available. Thank you so much! :)

STrEaM Celebrations!
Ski Team Final Update
Congrats to our ski team on a GREAT season! Huge thanks to our coaches Mozen, Perkins and Wesley, as well as all of our awesome parent volunteers who helped make it all happen.. All ASD middle school race results are posted on the Nordic Skiing Association of Anchorage’s website. It was our best showing yet in skiing, and we are very proud of our team. Go Rapids!
Health Spotlight: Nurse Bethany
The American Dental Association celebrates February as National Children’s Dental Health Month. This observance reinforces the importance of oral health in children as well as helping parents with tips to keep their child’s smile on track!
Parents, Did You Know? Early childhood tooth decay has become the most common chronic childhood disease, impacting more children than asthma. Kids who suffer from poor oral health are three times more likely to miss school as a result of dental pain. If you need a list of great local pediatric dentist, please reach out.
Happy Brushing!
Social-Emotional Learning in Advisory this week:
No SEL - Full day this Wednesday March 8th. Final Advisory of the quarter on Thursday.
STrEaM Lunch Program:
Wednesday Break Snacks
Please be sure your child packs their snack of choice. Friends of STrEaM and our donors for the Pantry Program have been seeing a huge increase in the number of students requesting snacks during Wednesday morning breaks.
Lunch at STrEaM supported by our Pantry Program & Friends of Stream
Please be sure your child packs a cold lunch. This week we need SHELF STABLE FRUIT. 45% of our students (76 students) come from economically disadvantaged homes and we hope to help them with free lunches when necessary. We served an average of 20 lunches each day last week. To put that in perspective, that is 8 loaves of bread, 48 oz of peanut butter and 4 pounds of lunch meat every week. Donations of Bread, Peanut Butter, Cheese & Turkey lunch meat are always welcome.
Online Gear Store
Our online store is open! Visit Anchorage STrEaM Academy Sideline Store. We still have baseball caps and winter knit pullover hats for sale in the front office.
Have a great Spring Break!
Quyana!
