Common Core State Standards
Attached is the announcement of DoDEA's adoption of the Common Core State Standards. This is a
major step forward for our school system as the new standards will address the rigor of what we
teach and provide a common set of standards which will mitigate transition issues for most of our
military dependent children as they move between DoDEA schools and the states that have also
adopted the standards. (See the attachment, Adoption of the Common State Standards.)

Softball Update
Congratulations to the following Lady Saints for making the All Region Softball team: Lauren Cox, Jordan
Leach, Danielle Lippert and Chelsea Littleton.
Boy’s Soccer Update
Unfortunately we did not win a game due to the stiff competition in our bracket but we did prove that
“you can be a winner without winning a game.” All my players gave their best effort and we played some
of the best soccer ever. The games against AF North and Naples had to be the best. The first we lost 3-1
and the second we lost 4-2. Both of these games were very exciting and close all the way down to the
end of the matches. The team has improved game after game and we look forward to a better season
next year.
