Armadillo Community Charter School

This week is spirit week! Tuesday: cozy sweater, Wednesday: random item, Thursday: look alike, and Friday: pajamas.

We LOVE when our students volunteer to give their insights on youth involvement! They were invited to hear about a construction program & give insight on how programming can best fit our valley's students . Huge thanks to the SOESD for inviting our students to share their perspectives!

We're so grateful for donations! And we especially love when those donations further student learning through diverse stories!

Thank you, Ashland CoOp, for your generous donation! Our culinary class & Food Truck Project course will be able to create delicious, local, and sustainable recipes!

Misconception Correction: Armadillo isn't just a school - it's a community! Students don't just attend classes - they thrive, often discovering success and engaging with academics for the first time!

Visit the "Merry Armadillo" tree at the Providence Festival of Trees this weekend. Special thanks to our amazing Office Admin, Sonya, and Director, Rachel, for crocheting armadillos!

Thank you, Welburn Electric & The Morey Family, for helping our culinary class move from hot plates that trip breakers to functioning stove top with room for one more!

Thank you Rogue Community College for visiting our campus & helping students get registered for dual enrollment! We're so grateful for this opportunity for our students!

Misconception: Armadillo is a tuition-free, public school. Although, we do only receive 95% of state funding for each student, so we ask for a $50 student fee.

Thank you to SOU for coming and presenting to our students about the opportunities here in the valley!

THANK YOU to our community for helping us purchase a full class set of The 57 Bus!
We encourage you to read along with us - this book is a true story told from various perspectives - highlighting the power of hearing the whole story & practicing empathy.

Thank You to the Rogue Valley Growers Market for hosting our students today as they learn about local & sustainable food! Our students had the opportunity to talk with vendors and we are so grateful for their time! Support local - visit the Rogue Valley Growers Market.

Huge THANK YOU to Chaz, owner of FatKidFoodCo for visiting Armadillo & discussing how to start, run, and give back as a food truck owner. Our students are excited for this term 2 food truck design project! Looking to support a local business that gives back and supports student success? Visit FatKidFoodCo. Truck Today!

Misconception Correction: Armadillo is a school of choice, no one can be "sent" here and we make sure that we are every students' choice before they enroll. Our school's values are community, equity, adaptability, and creativity; and we ensure that this is engrained in every aspect of our teaching and learning.
Come see for yourself!

Visit the Medford Library to see some student created Illumination Projects and Essays.

Congrats to Kallie! We're so proud of your accomplishment!

Today we celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day - learn more at "Unlearning Columbus Day Myths" through the Smithsonian Website.
