It seems like yesterday was the first day of school, but we have just celebrated the hundredth day! The first semester is behind us, and we are proud of all the hard work our students have done so far. A word of thanks goes to our PTA Board for coordinating the Reflections Program at ADE. Several of our students participated in Reflections this year. Congratulations to those students who placed in the District XIII competition and those selected to go on to the state level for another round of judging. Registration for preschool and kindergarten is available for children who will be attending ADE for the first time next year. Come by the office to fill out an application. We will need copies of your child’s birth certificate, South Carolina immunization form, and two proofs of residency. Please share this information with your neighbors who will have school age children next year and plans to enroll their children at ADE. Parents, please be sure that you sign in your child at the attendance office if he/she arrives after 7:40 a.m. We want to be sure that your child arrives safely to the classroom, and that your child has been accurately counted for attendance that day. We have two new incentives to encourage our students to arrive to school on time. Each student will receive a bee token on Friday if they are present and on time all week. Also, the class in each grade level with the highest attendance rate at the end of the nine weeks will receive a popcorn and movie day. Again, we appreciate the support you give to our school each day. As always, please do not hesitate to contact me if I may be of any help at any time. We always value and appreciate your input. There is a suggestion box located in the main office for you to offer feedback or ideas. You may also call, email, or drop by the office. Thank you for helping us strive to make ADE a great place to be! 2/13 Valentine-grams Delivered 2/17 Spring Fling Speaking Auditions 2:15-3:15 p.m. (4th & 5th Grade) 2/18 Respect All People Club Meeting 7:00-7:30 a.m. 2/19 Spring Fling Chorus 2:15-3:15 p.m. REMINDER: February 16th District In-Service NO SCHOOL 2/24 East of Chicago Pizza Spirit Night 5:00-8:00 p.m. 2/24 Spring Fling Drama 2:15-3:15 p.m. 2/25 Interims Issued 2/25 Kids of Character Club Meeting 7:00-7:30 a.m. 2/26 Spring Fling Chorus 2:15-3:15 p.m. The Bee Hive News Page 2 Music Corner Students have had the opportunity to sign up for this year’s Spring Fling, a great musical event sponsored by the PTA.

You can walk in honor or memory of someone or just to help raise awareness of the life threatening issues associated with heart disease. All walkers will begin at the Sumter County Chamber of Commerce and choose between a 1 mile or a 3 mile walk. You do not have to pay to walk; however, all donations will be greatly appreciated. For more information, please contact Mrs. Marlene Stilwell at [email protected] or log onto sumtercountyheartwalk.org and join a team. Our team is Alice Drive Elementary. If you raise $100 yourself, you will receive a t-shirt the day of the walk.

fifth grade students will have an opportunity to "Shadow a Relative" on Groundhog Day (02/02/15). This is a wonderful opportunity for students to experience life in the workforce and see the application of what's being taught in school applied to the real world. In order for students to be marked present, all questionnaires from this experience are due to Mrs. Simon on or before February 6, 2015, . This is also the month we usually have our Career Day; however, this year, it will be rescheduled to a later time. During the months of March and April, Mrs. Bines will be on maternity leave as she and her husband are expecting their first child the end of February. During her absence, Mrs. Simon will fill in for her classroom guidance and serve the needs of all ADE students. We will still have our Military Deployment Support group meeting and clubs on their regularly scheduled days. The Kids of Character will have a special meeting on Wednesday, February 4, 2015, to finish their Valentine's Day projects. We are so Mark your calendar for Picture Day on Friday, March 6, 2015! ADE Vision Statement ADE Mission Statement At Alice Drive Elementary, all students will receive the respect, encouragement and opportunities they need to build the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to be successful, contributing members of a global society. The mission of Alice Drive Elementary is to provide a positive school environment in which the pursuit of educational excellence prepares students to become responsible, productive citizens by focusing on the whole child while providing developmentally appropriate learning experiences through the involvement of school, family, and community. ADE Philosophy The total staff of Alice Drive Elementary School is fully committed to the fact that public schools have been, are now, and should be in the future one of the most powerful and sustaining influences of the American democratic society. We are concerned with the total development of moral and social values as well as the academic, physical, and emotional growth of our students. We recognize that children of elementary school age are individuals and are experiencing the most formative years of their lives. We feel that we should strive to guide students to think and evaluate constructively, to work independently to develop and maintain self-discipline, to acquire fundamental skills, and to have appreciation and respect for human values and the rights and responsibilities of others. We believe that all children are entitled to an education that will allow them to develop their capabilities to the fullest. It is the desire of the faculty that every child grows into a useful, productive member of society and lead a happy, contented personal life.
