On December 6, 2011 Mrs. Ayala, Ms. Urban, and parent volunteers along with 31 8th graders took a trip to the Holocaust Memorial Museum at the Jewish Community Center. This was an amazing opportunity as the students got a chance to learn more about the events that occurred between 1935-1945. The students were welcomed by Becky Hoag and watched a short film titled, “Through the Eyes of the Children” that showed them the effects that the Holocaust left on many individuals. Then they listened to a woman who was an expert on the subject. She took them through her personal experience and shared informative stories about certain pictures that were hanging on the walls. The students were thrilled and eager and asked multiple questions. During the last hour of our visit the students were honored by a special guest named “George.” George is an actual Holocaust survivor from Hungary. A lot of the students praised George for his courageous efforts and will to go on and fight despite the hardships he encountered. Altogether, this was definitely a memorable experience that the students will never forget. We hope that they gained knowledge and experience on the issue of discrimination and that they will have a lifelong impact on others.
Dear Parents, It is very important to call or e-mail to report your child's absence for the day. You may call the front office, Ms.Aguilar @ ext.140 or e-mail at maguilar@ssttx.org. This reports the absence for the day and prevents SST Alamo from calling to inquire about the missed day. Upon return, you must send your child with a written & signed note within 3 days of the absence, by a parent or a medical/dental facility to excuse the absence. To report daily absences: 657-6400, ext 140 or maguilar@ssttx.org to excuse absences: signed not from parent/doctor with 3 days. E-mails CANNOT excuse the absence, it simply is a courtesy to report. If you are requesting homework, please give the teachers until after dismissal to prepare their assignments. Thank you for your cooperation!!!!
