Adopt a Family Letter: Ms. Koplin and Ms. Priebe’s Advisory
November 15, 2010
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Julian Middle School once again has joined the townships Adopt a Family program. This year, more than ever, we need everyone's help; the numbers are very high and the volunteer helpers are fewer. Many of our adult adoptees are senior citizens or disabled and on a very small income.
Ms. Koplin and Ms. Priebe's advisory have adopted a mom and her two sons (ages 2 and 10). The family we adopted asked for several items. As an advisory we decided that we will bring in money to donate for the gift cards and/or pick out an item below to buy. As you are out shopping this season please be on the lookout for good deals and bargains on the items for our family listed below.
We need to have all money or items to school by Thursday, December 2. We do ask that each student in our advisory classes contribute something to this community service project. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you in advance for helping to make one family's holiday a little bit nicer.
Sincerely,
Ms. Koplin and Ms. Priebe

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As a concluding activity to our awesome Greek Mythology Unit we plan to show the animated Disney movie Hercules to our students. While the movie is very entertaining the main purpose of showing this film is for students to compare and contrast the stories they have been engrossed over the past 7 weeks to the movie. Students will chart the similarities and differences they see in the characters and the plots.
Summary: Hercules, son of the Greek God, Zeus, is turned into a half-god, half-mortal by evil Hades, God of the Underworld, who plans to overthrow Zeus. Hercules is raised on Earth and retains his god-like strength, but when he discovers his immortal heritage Zeus tells him that to return to Mount Olympus he must become a True Hero. Hercules becomes a famous hero with the help of his friend Pegasus and his personal trainer, Phil the satyr. Hercules battles monsters, Hades and the Titans, but it is his self-sacrifice to rescue his love Meg which makes him a True Hero. (The film is rated G).
Please sign below indicating you approve of your child watching this film during class on November 22nd. If you do not want your child to watch this movie we will provide them with an alternate educational activity to complete. As always, contact us with any questions.
Sincerely,
Team 6-3 Teachers
