Sixth Avenue Elementary held a fundraiser for Hurricane Sandy victims during the last week before Winter Break.  Students and staff paid 25¢ each day to wear a hat.  The money was collected for a donation to the American Red Cross.  We raised over $400 during this time.  Read the thank you letter from the Red Cross here.

Our own Assistant Principal, Josh Jones, was recognized on Wednesday, September 19th at Superintendent's Quarterly Awards.  Mr. Jones was nominated by the 5th grade team for his many contributions to our school.  Check out the Photo Album page for more photos of the celebration.

On Thursday, September 13, Sixth Avenue had a visit from the Promethean Activbus.  Students and staff from Sixth Avenue were able to see the latest and greatest technology tools in Promethean's ActivClassroom.  Everyone truly enjoyed using the new ActivTable which is a multi-user, collaborative learning tool aimed at elementary school students.  The Activbus spent the entire morning at Sixth Avenue before moving down the road to Paris Elementary for the afternoon.  See more pictures and video on the Photo Album page.

 Thank you to the Aurora Education Association's Technology Integration Caucus for arranging this special visit.
