There are a couple of reasons. <ul><li>When a college or colleges choose to host events at ASL, we do mention these events, as it is an opportunity for our students and parents to visit with a college right here on our campus. </li><li>After we send home the lengthy list of summer opportunities each year in the winter, some new and interesting ones always come across our desk that are not on our list. We mention them in the Weekly Bulletin as a way to include everyone. </li></ul><br><strong><em>DROP EVERYTHING AND READ</em> SPECIAL HOUR AT ASL:</strong><br>The week of April 8th - 12th, ASL will celebrate the importance of reading through its “Take Care - Read More” challenges in the lower and middle schools, culminating with participation in the world-wide Drop Everything and Read (D.E.A.R.) Day on Friday. During designated times on that day, students, teachers, parents, and staff will drop whatever they are doing to read. The AACC office and the Mellon Library will support the day by providing quiet, comfy spaces for reading during the Lower School D.E.A.R. time from 2 to 3 p.m. Alternately, any HS students with a free block Friday afternoon or any classes that might enjoy adopting a lower school class contact Ms. Field <a href="mailto:karen_field@asl.org">karen_field@asl.org</a> for more information. <br><br><strong>Heads Up: REQUIRED PIZZA LUNCH AND COLLEGE WORKSHOP, 12:45PM THURSDAY APRIL 25TH IN LEARNING COMMONS: </strong><br> Come enjoy pizza with your friends and learn more about MAIA - especially with reference to teacher recommendations.
