ASTI's First Garden Is Finally Here

After much wait, ASTI's first garden is here! Thanks to the help of many ASTI students, the flower boxes were quickly assembled and had flowers in them in no time. The plants for the flower boxes were planted in no time and on Monday, the hanging flower pots will complete ASTI's garden. We all owe thanks to the students who organized and planned the creation of this momentous event: Josh Chow, Dory Hashimoto, and Shobna Khunkhun. The long hours they spent calculating and researching the proper materials ASTI needed resulted in the creation of this splendid garden that was assembled on Friday, May 29th, 2009. The garden includes a plethora of perennials and other flowers. Along with the already blooming flowers are an abundance of seeds for all ASTIANS to plant and a magnificent, young kumquat tree with already some fruit to bare for all.

Update Update Update For ASTIANS

More exciting events are coming in the month of June! The ASTI Student Body (ASB) elections are on its way and the candidates are already preparing their speech and placing posters all over the ASTI portables. Good luck to all! Also, ASTI's Second Annual Graduation is on June 8th, 2009. Its going to be at Auctions By The Bay, 2751 Todd Street, Alameda CA. We wish all the 13 graduating Seniors great luck in their future pursuits in college and beyond. One last update was on Teacher Appreciation Night last Thursday. It was a huge success lots of great student performances and gifts that surprised and brought glee to the teachers. 

The Final Stretch of School

With a little less than a month left of school, this final stretch is no time to slack off on your studies. Although we are all relieved that school is almost over and summer is on its way, teachers will not grade easier or lessen the workload. So it is the goal of each ASTIAN to keep up the hard work and effort they have been showing all year and make it through the rest of the month without slipping up. Good luck to you all.

ASTI's Yearbook Goes Digital

Unfortunately, ASTI's yearbook will not be a hard copy. There was minimum threshold of 35 people to be able to order a printed set of yearbooks, but unfortunately it was not reached. Deepest apologies for anyone who ordered one or those who wanted one. But fear not, this year's memories, events, and escapades will not be archived away from the ASTIANS. We are having a CD yearbook with fun flash intros, videos, and the PDF version of the yearbook! Thanks to the amazing yearbook student staff, we are able to distribute this year's yearbook digitally at a low, low cost of only $10. The sale will only take place during lunch and will start from this coming Wednesday, May 6th until Tuesday, May 19th.
