The Alden-Hebron Drama
Club, under the direction of Jan
Booth, proudly presents our
Spring play, “All I Really Need
to Know I Learned in Kindergarten.” The production will be
held in the HS auditorium Friday, April 29 and Saturday,
April 30, at 7:00 pm.
Based on Robert Fulghum’s
bestselling books,
“Kindergarten” takes a funny,
insightful, heartwarming look at
what is profound in everyday
life. It’s an evening of theatrical
storytelling in revue format,
featuring colorful characters
such as: the shy little boy who
insists on playing the part of
“pig” in his class production of
Cinderella; a man who’s dream
of flying carries him high over
Los Angeles in a lawn chair
buoyed by weather balloons; a
mother of the bride who’s
staged the perfect wedding until
a bowling ball of fate comes
rolling down the aisle. These
stories celebrate our very existence, from the whimsy of
childhood to the wisdom of old
age.
The Drama Club cast for
this production includes: Morgan Lohse, Tyler Henken,
Kiaya Kowalski, Kelsey Mindham, David Mor, J.J. baker,
Bethany Eaton, Brittany Davidson and Sonya Stark with technicians Nick DiDiana and
Samantha Zimel. We are also
happy to announce that actual
kindergarten class work will
be on display in the auditorium
and will be used in on our sets,
thanks to Alden-Hebron kindergarten classes, and to our
kindergarten teachers Ms.
Bryak and Mrs. Fallon! Tickets for “Kindergarten” can be
purchased at the door and cost
$5.00 each. Join us for a wonderful evening of theatre.
We’re even having cookies
and milk at intermission!

School Reach
In an effort to provide up-todate and important information to families, we utilize the
School Reach system. We do
our best to keep the system
updated. Recently, we upgraded our School Reach
program to automatically
sync every night with our
PowerSchool database system.
This will allow School Reach
to be correct each time a message goes out. However, it is
imperative that the school offices have your correct phone
numbers on file. Please contact
the school office to make
any changes to your home and/
or cell phone numbers. We are
now able to put two phone
numbers per student in School
Reach. Thank you for your help
in keeping us updated.

Library Automation
We have purchased the software for automating both district libraries. Thanks to a
generous donation from the
Hebron State Bank and support from the PTO, along with
money raised at the book fairs
this year, we have raised
enough money to purchase the
initial software program. We
are still raising money for new
computers for each library to
use as a card catalog as well as
new books for our libraries.
After training we will begin
scanning in our collections
throughout the month of May.
This process will be long; how-
ever, with help from volunteers we can get it done before the end of the school
year. If you are still interested
in helping with this conversion process, please contact
Colleen Geils at
815-648-2442 EX. 530.

Guidance Corner
Seniors: Don’t forget to do two
things when you make your
final college decision…1please come into the Guidance
Office and let me know what
school you will be attending
and 2- schools would like verification of your admittance by
May 1st.
If you are still planning to apply
to McHenry County College,
you need to get those applications in ASAP. There is a supply in the Guidance Office.
Testing
PSAE testing will be administered to all juniors on April 27th
and 28th. The two-day test consists of the ACT (day one) and
an ISBE developed examination
(day two). This test is now a
state mandated graduation requirement, so it is extremely
important that students are in
school for both days of the examination.
The next ACT registration
deadline is May 6, 2011 for the
June 11, 2011 national test date.
Students will have plenty of
opportunities to take the ACT
during their senior year of high
school.
PLAN testing will be administered to all sophomores on
Wednesday, April 27th. The
PLAN is a Pre-ACT test that
assesses academic progress,
provides an early indicator of
college readiness and helps
students understand and explore
a wide range of career options.
EXPLORE testing will be administered to all freshman on
Wednesday, April 27th. The
EXPLORE is a Pre-ACT test
that helps ninth graders develop
a high school course plan that
prepares them to achieve their
post-high school goals.
When Should My Student
Take the ACT?
It is recommended that students take the ACT test for the
first time in the spring of their
junior year. That’s because the
ACT is a curriculum-based
test, and juniors have taken
many of the necessary core
courses by this time.
It’s also the best time to start
communicating with colleges
and universities. Taking the
ACT during junior year helps
everyone being to seriously
consider a college education.
If your student tests as a junior, he or she will have test
scores and other information
in time to better help plan senior-year classes. Your student
can retest if he or she feels the
scores do not accurately reflect
his or her abilities in the areas
tested.
Students can register online at
www.act.org or pick up regis-
tration packets from the
Guidance Office. The cost for
the ACT test without writing
is $32.00. When combined
with the optional ACT Writing Test, the total cost is
$47.00.
The “YOU MAKE A
DIFFERENCE AWARD” is
granted to any staff member
in our district. This is an opportunity for students and
families to nominate a
teacher or any staff member
that has significantly impacted the life of your student
(s) or family. If you have
someone in mind to nominate, please submit that information to Ms. Kim Qualls or
Dr. Bridget Belcastro by Friday – April 15, 2011. Thank
you for your participation in
acknowledging one of our
wonderful staff members.
