Greetings Osprey Community,
Many thanks to all who contributed to our food drive last week! AHS represented, gathering over 1.5 food items per student. We're still awaiting news from DHS about their results, but whether or not we won our friendly competition with them, we know for sure that the
Durango Food Bank was super appreciative of our donation, letting us know that the food will be "greatly appreciated in the homes of our neighbors struggling with food insecurity."

Thanks, too, to all who participated in yesterday's blood drive, organized by Tina Hott and her Biology and Anatomy students. Our community's generosity exceeded expectations, with so many folks stopping by for walk-in appointments that
United Blood Services recommended we move to day-long blood drives in the future. Our apologies that we didn't have room for all who wanted to donate blood; what an amazing "problem" for us to have!

Students in Ally Johnson's Journalism class have been busily crafting content for
The Animas Quill, which has moved to a primarily online format this year (though look for a print "best of" edition at some point this semester). There are lots of great student-generated articles to read, ranging from lighthearted and funny (see junior Will Klumpenhower's
"January in Review") to thoughtful and informative (junior Ben Malone's "
Why Gerrymandering Is a Threat to Democracy"). Visit
The Quill
here to learn more about the issues that matter to Ospreys.
Interest in 2017-18 enrollment remains high and, as a reminder, our lottery date for 2017-18 enrollment is March 1. We will host another
AHS Information Session for prospective students and families next Wednesday evening from 5:30 to 6:30 on campus. Current families will receive registration materials for next year on March 1, when we will also communicate with new families about lottery results and registration process.
Looking ahead a week, please remember that we have a
A bit further ahead, families of seniors should mark their calendars for a
Senior College Night: Understanding Financial Aid with college counselor Jess Adams on March 1, and the
Graduation Meeting on March 7, where we'll share information about graduation week events, tickets for the ceremony, ordering caps and gowns and more. Both meetings are in the evening, at AHS.

We are seeking parent leadership to organize AHS After Prom.
Parent Advisory Committee Chair Marla Stills has provided fabulous leadership for After Prom the past two years and is happy to share her wisdom with those who would take on leadership for this year. The
AHS Prom will be on Saturday, April 8 at
Derailed Pour House (thanks to Osprey family and owners the Grants!). More information about tickets coming soon. After Prom provides a safe, drug and alcohol-free place for our students to continue celebrating after prom wraps up. It will be at the Rec Center, and we need a parent committee to organize prize donations, activities and chaperones for the event. If you are interested in learning more, contact assistant head of school Libby Cowles at
libby.cowles@animashighschool.com.
Enjoy your weekend an thanks for all you do to help the Ospreys soar!
