President Obama's Speech

2009-09-07T17:08:00.000-05:00

Parents
Please Note

September 4, 2009

Dear Parents,

You may have heard or read that on Tuesday, September 8, President Obama will deliver a national address to the students of America. During this special address, President Obama will speak directly to the nation’s children and youth about persisting and succeeding in school. He will challenge students to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for their learning.

The school’s plan is to record the broadcast, which will be shown live on the White House Web site (http://www.whitehouse.gov/live/) and on C-SPAN at 12:00 p.m., ET. We understand that the president will be speaking for 15-20 minutes. The history/social studies teachers in Kindergarten through 8th grade will have a class discussion with the students about the topics that the president brings up some time during the week next week. In grades Kindergarten through 8th, students will be shown the recording of either all or parts of the speech (attention spans vary between those grade levels) during the week next week.

Please understand that Kindergarten through 8th will have a class discussion and may see the entire broadcast or a portion of the broadcast next week, not necessarily on Tuesday though. We understand that this broadcast was meant for the school aged children, which is why we will be sharing it with Kindergarten through 8th only.

We believe that the message to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for learning is a good message that can be shared by all, regardless of their political party. We have had a few inquiries, so if, for some reason, you are opposed to your child listening to such a message, or listening to a brief class discussion about the message, then you must send a letter to your child’s homeroom teacher or directly to the office on Tuesday morning and we will respect your wishes.

Sincerely,

Mary Kevin Cahill
Principal

Skit Night

2008-09-14T12:24:00.000-05:00

Wednesday, September 17, 2008 is Arden Cahill Academy’s annual Skit night. Each year the children running for the Student Council Officers host a skit night at their home or an alternate location. All 1st through 8th grade students are invited to attend a skit night of their choice. Students are encouraged to pick one location and participate in this fun, school spirit building evening. There has been no homework assigned this evening so children can feel free to participate without getting behind on their school work. Extra credit is given in 3rd through 8th grade speech class for any student who participates in the skit, for it is a performance based activity. I encourage all children to take advantage of this wonderful opening school activity. Get involved!

Duke University Talent Identification Program

2008-09-10T14:05:00.000-05:00

CONGRATULATIONS to our 7th graders who have qualified for the Duke University Talent Identification Program. The Duke University Talent Identification Program (TIP) is a non-profit educational organization established with the premise that the future of this nation depends upon the fullest development of our best intellectual resources. The objectives of the Program are therefore to identify the very bright among our youngsters at an early age; to facilitate the education of these students; to follow and nurture their talent through the critical middle and high school years; and to develop an effective research effort to help understand the nature of academically talented adolescents. In order to be eligible for this program the student must be in 7th grade and have scored in the upper 5 percent of national age-grade norms on specific areas of their 5th or 6th grade Stanford Achievement Test. These students will now be eligible to take one of the college entrance tests during their 7th grade year:
