Email to members of the Senior class

Greetings,

Congratulations on reaching your Senior year at ACS!

 It is a great time to celebrate and share your accomplishments in the classroom, on the field, upon the stage, and on the job - both to enjoy the deserving praise, but, more importantly, to model your initiative to younger students.

And so I am putting the library (and the librarian) at your disposal as a venue for you to share with us your skills, talents, and character. For example:

    - If you are an artist, let’s schedule an exhibit of your work, or have you paint a library chair, or draw portraits of everyone in your class!
    - If you are a performer, let’s produce a lunchtime performance, or an evening recital, or music/acting videos we can preview on “film nights.”
    - If you are a writer, let’s have a reading of your work, or create broadsides of your poetry, or bound anthologies of your writing. (Imagine a yearbook-like book full of Senior drawings, paintings, stories, etc.)
    - If you work, lets create an exhibit or video-documentary that illustrates your passion and goals within your trade.
    - If you have a posse to thank, or a community group you would like to treat to a tea and cupcakes, let’s do invitations, iron the linen, and host them in grand style.

I hope you as individuals or as a class take me up on what has always been a standing offer at the library: to celebrate student accomplishment.

Let’s talk.

Mr. DeVona
