Atlantic West Elementary

We are already in the Month of May! Testing has been completed and everyone worked really hard. We are so proud of our students. Fifth graders are enjoying some end of year activities and have already gone on a field trip to Jungle Island. The weather cooperated and a fun time was had by everyone. They will soon participate in JA Biz at Broward College's North Campus, the PTA  5th grade carnival, and students will have their DARE graduation during the last week of school.

Have you been counting with us how many Accelerated Reader books our students have read (look at our counter below this article)? Atlantic West Soaring Eagles have read over 10,000 books. That is about 16 books per student. Boys and girls, KEEP ON READING!

School Library Week was celebrated at Atlantic West Elementary from April 30th to May 4th. Students met and were entertained by author Darrell House. Everyone enjoyed his stories and songs, but he says he had the best time of all meeting Atlantic West students. On Friday, we had our Annual Storybook Parade in the North parking lot followed by silent reading time. Classes also decorated classroom doors to represent their favorite books. It was a fantastic week celebrating books and literacy.

All students entering kindergarten in August are invited with their parents to find out about kindergarten at Atlantic West Elementary.  Kindergarten Round-up will be held at 6:30 on May 15th. If you haven't met our fabulous kindergarten teachers, this is a great opportunity to meet them, hear about our program, tour the building, and see our beautiful classrooms. Registration will also be available that evening.

There are still many more exciting events to carry us to the end of the school year. Book Fair begins on May 14th and on May 17th, in conjunction with the PTA general meeting, parents can visit the Book Fair in the evening and shop with their children. Also, on May 29th we are presenting the 6th Annual Grand Arts and Science Showcase. Student art work is displayed throughout the school, science fair projects are displayed, there are student performances, and everyone gets to participate in making an art project or two! Please join us for these fabulous events!

Parents, now is a great time to get involved with our PTA. We love our volunteers and welcome your involvement in Atlantic West Elementary. Together, we make AWE AWEsome!
