World Smile Day®
AHA’s students celebrated World Smile Day® on Friday, October 3rd by purchasing smile-grams and sharing what makes them smile. The event was organized by Mrs. Kraytem and her Operation Smile club members to raise awareness of the needs of children in developing countries who suffer from cleft palate and other facial deformities. World Smile Day® was conceived by the late artist Harvey Ball who created the iconic smiley face symbol in 1963 and believed that one day a year should be dedicated to fostering goodwill and kindness. He is remembered as having said, "The smiley face knows no politics, no geography and no religion, and for at least one day each year, neither should we.” Pictured left to right showing their affection for French teacher Mrs. Marisel LeGoff are juniors Sandra Levin, Kiera Feldner and Francesca Sotomayor.
International Studies Students Nicaragua Letter Exchange
Students in Mrs. Cucchisi’s International Studies are enjoying making friends with students in Nicaragua via a letter exchange. The idea originated when Claire Quinn ’09, who is serving in Nicaragua in the Peace Corps, contacted Ms. Cucchisi about her work there as an Environmental Education volunteer and offered to share her experiences with students at AHA. She and Ms. Cucchisi then together conceived the idea of a letter exchange that would enable AHA students to mentor the Nicaraguan students. The students shared personal stories, family information and descriptions of their hopes and dreams for the future. One girl wrote to her Angel pen pal, “To read your card made me feel like the girl I’ve always wanted to be.” Mrs. Cucchisi reported that it has been a wonderful experience for both sets of students who are expanding their global knowledge while developing bonds of friendship. The girls are in the process now of writing Christmas cards to their pen pals which will take at least a month to arrive in Nicaragua.
