Happy Thanksgiving everyone. This coming week will be a short one with the coming of Thanksgiving. There will be ASTI classes until Tuesday, but college classes will still continue until Wednesday. Please keep that in mind. Also, this Tuesday will be the Cultural Potluck. It will begin the same time as lunch on Tuesdays and it will be in the F-Building lounge where there will be performances from ASTI's very own. Please bring a cultural food to share with your peers that day and you will gain spirit points for the next upcoming Spirit Week. Lastly, college finals are on their way so everyone should continue their hard work and not slack off even in the slightest. It is the final stretch of the Fall semester. Please enjoy your Thanksgiving break.

ASTI Updates.

It’s been a rainy few weeks and we’ve made it through the leaky ceilings (now fixed) and the drippy rain gutters (to be fixed). This week the students have been showing their class spirit by competing in a number of fun lunchtime activities, dressing up for theme days, and trying to top each other in a penny war. Our students and staff are continuing to formalize our tutoring opportunities. We are currently offering peer and staff tutoring every day after school. Please encourage your students to take advantage of this opportunity. Right now we have a small group of students attending the tutoring but are hoping to have many more join us. If your student is struggling in a class they should come to tutoring! In the near future we will be putting out applications and publicizing our recruitment process for the Fall of 2010. Please help us by spreading the word about ASTI throughout your community. This is especially important if you live outside Alameda as we have difficulty accessing groups/people outside of Oakland. Many of you found us after hearing about ASTI from a friend and now YOU are that friend. We have school business cards and 11 x 17 posters for distribution. If you are interested, have your student stop by the office and we’ll give them some to take home.
