UAI High School Parent Newsletter
Volume 2
Issue 5
February/March 2015
Principal's Address. We have successfully launched into the 2nd half of the school year. While February was definitely cold and snowy, we ended it with one of our best celebrations of Black History month to date! Seniors Kaylah Pilgrim and Sky Blackstock ran the show seamlessly showcasing our UAI talent with our Step Team, instrumental talent, and spoken word performers. Belle LeGrand and Taylor Russell (along with dancing by Toddara Galimore) closed the show with an amazing performance of John Legend's Glory!
Participants from each grade were represented, making this one of the most engaging assemblies we've had to date. UAI is a community of strong, beautiful, and talented young women!
PTA Meeting and Summer Opportunities Fair. On Tuesday, 10MAR15 at 6PM, Girls Inc & Carrera will be hosting our first Summer Opportunities Fair. We will also have informational tables on Learning Cultures, Senior Activities & Graduation, and The Arts. Our goal for the PTA meeting is to cast a wide net to encourage parents and families to come out and engage with our school. So whether you are looking for things for your teenager to do this summer, have questions about graduation or senior activities, still wonder what Learning Cultures is all about, or you want to explore the Arts with Ms. Carol, we hope to have something of interest for you! You're welcome to sit in on our SLT meeting from 5-6PM, otherwise we'll see you at 6PM for the line-up of amazing events!
UAI High School Night at the Brooklyn Nets. Immediately following our PTA meeting, we are hosting a UAI HS family night at the Brooklyn Nets. On Tuesday, March 10th at 7:30PM we have a block of 50 tickets to go to the game together as our UAI HS family. Students, family, and staff are all invited to attend. If you want to come, please see Jen C (jenc@uainstitute.org) to purchase tickets. We hope you can make it! It will be a fun-filled night!
UAI Picture day is Tuesday, 10MAR15.
As a reminder, our annual Picture Day is on Tuesday. Forms went out to all students from Mr. Demetris and Mr. Ruben during Job Club classes last week and the week before. If you still need a form, it's not too late! Send your daughter to room 401 or to room 145 to get a form from Ms. Carol or Ms. Kiri.
Third Annual Spring Semi-formal. Our 3rd annual Spring Semi-formal dance will be held on Friday, March 20th. Tickets are on sale in the cafeteria from Ms. Doris. If you are interested in chaperoning, please contact Ms. Kiri (kiris@uainstitute.org) or Ms. Doris (dorist@uainstitute.org).
Our annual semi-formal gives our young women the opportunity to dress up for a party! It's not formal (like prom), but it gives all of our high school young ladies the chance to experience a fancy event.
We do allow dates (provided that they are still in high school and have valid high school ID). Doors close at 7:30PM and there are no refunds if students arrive after 7:30.
Every year this is a fun and special event! We encourage all students to come (with friends or with dates - all all welcome)!
