Allen Get's a New Look!

Dear Allen Families,

Allen is getting all new exterior doors in our school color RED!   We hope this brightens up the exterior appearance of our school as well as ensure all doors are secure.     We are hoping to paint other exterior fixtures this spring to match our new doors and continue our "face lift" of the school.  

Go Eagles!!

Dear Allen Families,

We have a wonderful opportunity to host the Chinese Acrobats from the Bureau of Lectures organization on November 19th, 2013 at 2:00 PM.   I hope that you can join us for this great opportunity.   Just another way that Allen Parent Council and the fundraisers support our school.   For more information go to the website below.

Fun Nights and Movie Nights!!

Dear all,  We are so fortunate to have parents volunteer to plan and organize these fun community building activities.   It is a great opportunity to socialize at school with friends and other families.    I would ask that families accompany their child(ren) at these events so that supervision is abundant.   We had some behavior at the last Fun Night that was out of compliance with our PBIS expectations.   I am asking that you as parents help students follow school expectations both during the day and at these fun activities.     Your support is greatly appreciated.

Principal;

Fun Run Success!!   We raised a total dollar amount of  $15,992.25 and will realize a profit of         $12, 500.   We are very thankful to all of the families and their extended families and friends who supported this event.   The money raised goes directly to supporting our students and providing field trip, assemblies, teacher grants, etc.   A special thank you to Heidi Harris and Caitlin Rowe for their amazing efforts and organization of this event.    YAY Allen Eagles!!!

Ms. Fitz
