<div style="line-height: 16.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Dear
Arizona Residents,</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">As
the year draws to an end, I’m thinking about what I always think about<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">:</b> our students. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">After
more than 40 years working in education, from teaching in local district
schools to opening and teaching in a private school, to converting the private
school to a charter school when the Charter School Movement first began, I’m
convinced the most powerful tool we have to prepare more kids for college, career,
and life is the small school that controls the class size and offers
individualized educational opportunities to all students such as Telesis
Preparatory Academy.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Telesis
has been educating students in Lake Havasu City since 1991 and we have a
genuine and sincere interest in making it the best school it can be. Students
have been asking for a gymnasium on our campus for many, many years. The
process has been long and hard, but the final steps were achieved last week. Telesis
Preparatory Academy will break ground on the new gymnasium on Wednesday,
January 8<sup>th</sup>, 2014. Since I know how passionate you are about helping
our students succeed and the extracurricular activities that they all deserve
to have, some which will take place right in our very own new gymnasium, I
wanted to ask for your help. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16.8pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">It takes parents, teachers, administrators, all of us coming
together, to create the kind of school our children deserve.</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;"></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">We
have only five days left this year. Your $400 (if you are married and file
jointly or $200 if you file as a single) will help us to continue to offer
extracurricular activities in the only non-profit charter school in Havasu. One
that has been “home-grown” to fit the needs of our students with a philosophy
of planned progress inherent in our very name, Telesis. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u><span style="color: #00b0f0; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Please make a tax credit donation to Telesis Preparatory Academy
now by completing the form at the link below with your check for the amount you
choose and dropping it in our drop box or mailing it to 2598 Starlite Lane Lake

<div style="line-height: 16.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">I
have taken that brave step to start a charter school in our community and have worked
hard to bring a gymnasium to our campus for students whose families have chosen
Telesis Preparatory Academy as the educational choice best suited for their
children. Therefore, we need to be ready to support their every ambition that
we possibly can and that includes extracurricular activities.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">For
22 years, Telesis Preparatory Academy has been a part of the fabric of the
educational community in Lake Havasu City, so we look to you the residents of
our city and our state to help with this endeavor to provide extracurricular
activities of all kinds for our students.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Telesis
Preparatory Academy gives parents, students and teachers the freedom to find
creative, innovative ways to respond to students’ unique needs. But to continue
providing this kind of support for extracurricular activities for students who
will soon have a brand new gymnasium we can all be proud of, we need your help
right away.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Please
help us before midnight, December 31. Our students will be grateful for the
extracurricular activities they love that round out their quality education at Telesis
and, in some cases, keeps them in school, but we need you to act now with a
tax-credit contribution before the year ends.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16.8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Let’s

<br />
The graduating Class of 2013 graced us with several “Telesis Firsts” such as the first class to graduate with ALL graduates planning to continue their education and the first class to receive so many scholarships totaling $135, 575. They made us proud!Dr. Breecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02453212640731160737noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115931307948981961.post-68302376797766479402013-01-31T06:59:00.001-08:002013-01-31T06:59:37.833-08:00National School Choice WeekAs we wrap up National School Choice Week 2013, I couldn't be prouder of our students, our staff, and our school. So many accomplishments, I'm not sure where to begin, so I'll just list them here in random order.<br />
<ul>
<li>We have a contender for the County Spelling Bee - Intermediate Student Jensen Clark </li>
<li>We had a total of 45 Perfect Attendance students for our 100th Day of Attendance and recognized them in front of the entire student body at our Got Choice assembly on the 100th day. Telesis never encourages students to come to school ill, but we certainly want to recognize students who do manage to get there every day. Attendance is the key to your child's success!</li>
<li>I have been horored with the nomination by the Telesis staff, or Telesis Team as I like to call them, for the first ever Living Magazine's 2013 Woman of the Year. The amazing surprise is that I got it! I am humbly grateful for the amazing people that make up the great staff at Telesis. All are dedicating their lives to doing positive things for kids. </li>
<li>We are on track to add a long-awaited gymnasium to our campus, plus four additional classrooms. Construction to start soon! </li>
<li>Early Elementary teachers jumped right in to exercise the Telesis Philosophy of individualization and our motto "Challenge without Frustration" by rearranging student placement so that students can have the best opportunities to learn. That's what Telesis is all about! </li>
<li>Our anonymous donors for our Palm Springs Get-Away have offered their luxury vacation home once again to allow a great fundraising opportunity, so one lucky ticket-purchaser will get a 3-day stay of your choice in this beautiful, recently remodeled home in Palm Springs. Drawing to be held March 14th and you don't have to be present to win. Only 250 tickets will be sold. Get yours today! </li>
<li>Our first semester performing arts class performed <em>Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, </em>a production with lots of dialog, at the GraceArtsLive Theatre and Grace Ann, our drama teacher, and Jason Fallis, our vocal teacher, and I couldn't have been prouder how they rose to the occasion to make a spectacular evening for the audience to enjoy and appreciate their hard work and last-minute burst of confidence. Congrtulations to the cast!</li>
<li>Telesis teachers and I initiated a new narrative process which was more challenging than anticipated, but we've pulled through it and narratives are soon ready to go out to patient parents who are waiting to know how their children performed during first semester in all classes and subject areas. </li>
<li>Last, but not least, National School Choice Week was wonderful with our kickoff assembly including guest speaker Dr. Marv Lamer, Arizona’s Associate Superintendent of Highly Effective Schools, sharing memories of how Telesis has grown from 9 students 21 years ago to the current enrollment approaching 500 today. All our students whose families <u>chose</u> a quality education at Telesis! Every student received a tiger arm band which states, "I Choose Telesis." The Telesis Cheerleading Squad and Tiger Mascot prepared a Got Choice Cheer at my request at the very last minute and performed it for all of us at the assembly. Thank you as it added pizzazz to what was already an exciting day to kickoff an exciting week. After the assembly every student tied a gold ribbon to the fence to spell out TELESIS to indicate their choice for a quality education. </li>
</ul>
I guess I could go on and on, but you already know the quality education available at Telesis because you have probably chosen Telesis for your children and if not, please plan to come to our March 14th Community Open House, Book Fair, and Science Fair to learn more of this great opportunity for all Lake Havasu City students, completely tuition FREE.

Starting at 5:00 and concluding at 7:00, those in attendance can visit classrooms and meet teachers, as well as browse and purchase books in our library. Hint: Books make excellent Christmas gifts. Additional information will also be available such as the tax credit program which is separate from other schools in the community. Telesis Clubs of all kinds will be sharing their enthusiasm and club goals, in addition to offering special opportunities to support their individual fundraisers. <br />
<br />
Mark your calendars now so you can join us at Telesis on the evening of December 4, 2012 for our Community Open House and Scholastic Book Fair and an evening of fun to learn what Telesis is all about. Feel free to bring not only family and friends, but interested members of the community as well. We are proud of our school and it shows! We have a story to tell and we want to tell it! <br />

They also received a certificate of another kind: a free meal at the Golden Corral. Each of these students has a chance at a trip for four to Sea World if they maintain their perfect attendance record through second semester. The Sea World drawing will take place at the Awards Ceremonies during the last week of the school year. A drawing will be held for lower level classes and one deserving student with perfect attendance for the entire year will win four tickets to Sea World. Another set of four tickets to Sea World will be given to the student with perfect attendance who is drawn from the fish bowl of all Junior Academy and Academy students with perfect attendance for the entire school year.Dr. Breecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02453212640731160737noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115931307948981961.post-34365872398836841272009-11-14T08:48:00.000-08:002009-11-14T09:02:36.758-08:00National Honor Society FundraisingThe Telesis National Honor Society and National Junior Honor Society have launched fundraising efforts to raise money specifically for new computers on our campus. They recently held a car wash and earned more than $700 allowing Telesis to order two more computer towers. Next, they plan to sell packaged coffee with a coffee catalog called Smart Bean which offers specialty coffees of all kinds, including chai tea and even a superb brownie mix. The proceeds will be shared with the Telesis Booster Club with half of the proceeds going for the Athletic Dept. and half for more computers. We need everyone to help make this fundraiser the biggest and best ever. Watch for the catalogs and lend your support in one of two ways: help sell the coffee to your family and friends as it will make excellent gifts to all the coffee-drinkers on any Christmas list and/or purchase the coffee for yourself and enjoy.Dr. Breecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02453212640731160737noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115931307948981961.post-75243388220219747002009-07-05T12:22:00.000-07:002009-07-08T20:23:21.198-07:00Telesis Receives K-12 Accreditation from NCA<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWf3Y_p1afPrXBMp7960TBpM-_YMLAO0eODB9ZFV0mOG8zCPoaTfDlthnKOES5NCD8HiDUNcxFMeIPQl68Q4D44si9sdIPpUwDN3Dc_8G-4XpBylCZBhhv_V9ac6CHatUEy_jJiQ7c9-Y/s1600-h/nca_casi_logo.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 199px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWf3Y_p1afPrXBMp7960TBpM-_YMLAO0eODB9ZFV0mOG8zCPoaTfDlthnKOES5NCD8HiDUNcxFMeIPQl68Q4D44si9sdIPpUwDN3Dc_8G-4XpBylCZBhhv_V9ac6CHatUEy_jJiQ7c9-Y/s200/nca_casi_logo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356295699691116834" /></a><br />Telesis Preparatory Academy, a public tuition-free K-12 school, recently received dual-accreditation. Telesis has been fully accredited, but now boasts dual-accreditation from North Central Accreditation (NCA) agency, under its new parent company AdvancED, the largest accreditation agency in the world. For more than a year, Telesis Team Leaders, Tom Dornton, Amy Hanon, and Doug Lawslo gathered documented proof of the school’s advancements and credentialed improvements. Members of the NCA agency visited the school for their culminating review on May 5th. Official notice of the full K-12 accreditation came on July 1st. Achieving this accreditation status makes Telesis Preparatory Academy the only school in Lake Havasu City to have accreditation for grades K-8, as well as, the more commonly earned accreditation of grades 9-12 from North Central.

Membership in both organizations is by invitation only by our Faculty Council. They will be looking at all students who first meet the required 3.0 or better GPA (grade point average). Then letters of interest are sent to those students who qualify in their GPA. The students are asked to identify their school activities and community involvement. Once this information is received by the Faculty Council, a final decision will be made on each student’s entry qualifications. If a student qualifies under these two conditions, they are formally invited into the organization and join at a special induction ceremony. Incentives for members include a lapel pin, a special recognition on their diplomas, and wearing honor cords at graduation. <br /><br />The Telesis National Honor Society and National Junior Honor Society 2009 Induction Ceremony will be held at 7:00 PM at the Knights of Columbus Hall on April 27th.

Parents of those students with perfect attendance during the first 100 days of school are cordially invited to the ceremony to take place on Monday, February 2, 9:30 AM. Our hope is that we can again recognize these same students at the end of the school year at our awards assemblies for PERFECT ATTENDANCE all year long!Dr. Breecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02453212640731160737noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115931307948981961.post-15227551886595409812008-11-20T18:03:00.000-08:002008-11-20T18:19:11.325-08:00Character is What You Do When No One is WatchingThis is the most refreshing sports story I have ever read. Whatever your sport of choice and passion, this story should be read by you. It happened to occur in the sport of golf, but is applicable to every sport and, even more importantly, to every aspect of life. It has been said that character is what you do when no one is watching. Please go to this website and read the article about the recent decision of golfer J.P.Hayes, then click on the LISTEN link on the website in the box with J.P.'s photograph to hear a radio broadcast where radio personalities compare J.P.'s decision to other sports and practices of integrity and honesty. <br /><br />Click on this link for article: <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=3712372">http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=3712372</a>Dr. Breecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02453212640731160737noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115931307948981961.post-57348137970576795542008-10-19T02:54:00.000-07:002008-10-21T07:10:08.461-07:00Grand Canyon ReaderThe Grand Canyon Reader Award Program is off to a great start! This is the third year that Telesis has participated in this great program. The purpose of this program is for children to read recent, high quality books and to vote for their favorite. Students participate all over the state of Arizona from October through February. Each year, Telesis purchases copies of these books for our school library and holds a voting party in the spring for those who have participated in the program. <br /><br />Voting Requirements<br /><br />1. The titles in the appropriate categories are read and voted upon by the state's children during the period from announcement through the voting deadline, October through February. Students may read (and vote for) books in more than one category. <br /><br />2. To become qualified voters, young readers must be exposed to at least five (5) of the nominated books in the Picture book and Non-fiction category by: <br /><br />reading the books themselves. <br />having the books read to them. <br />a combination of the two. <br /><br />Intermediate and Tweens must read 3 of the 10. <br /><br />3. Public library programs do not preclude young readers participating with their class group at school or in school library programs. <br /><br />4. Qualified voters are allowed one vote each in that category. Students may vote in more than one category if 5 books in the Picture or Non-fiction category are read, 3 in the Intermediate and Tween category. <br /><br /> <br />More information can be obtained by asking Mrs. Amy Hanon, Telesis Literacy Coach, ahanon@telesis-academy.org or a visit to the Grand Canyon Reader website at: www.grandcanyonreaderaward.orgDr. Breecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02453212640731160737noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115931307948981961.post-86948905047529183312008-09-13T11:59:00.001-07:002008-09-13T11:59:43.945-07:00Open House 2008Telesis will open their doors and roll out the welcome carpet to parents and community members at the annual Open House on September 16th. One special hour, 6:30-7:30, will provide those in attendance to visit classrooms and meet teachers. Additional information will also be available such as the tax credit program which is separate from other schools in the community. Mohave Community College will be on hand to answer questions about educational opportunities as graduation comes closer. Last, but not least, the new Telesis Preparatory pins will be available for purchase for only $3 so everyone can showoff their school spirit. Parents of Telesis students will be asked to sign up for a conference appointment for the following week, September 23 through 25, on a first come first served basis. Coming to Open House will provide parents with the opportunity to sign up for the parent-teacher conference day and time of your choice. <br /><br />Mark your calendars now so you can join us at Telesis for the 2008 Open House and all that goes with it. Feel free to bring not only family and friends, but interested members of the community as well. We are proud of our school and it shows! Open House is a special time to share this pride!Dr. Breecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02453212640731160737noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115931307948981961.post-56245205848782138692008-08-17T00:05:00.000-07:002008-08-17T00:21:25.599-07:00Welcome to a New School Year<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7NiMkSwlDkFIEB1a8B0EnhKpLFJ-AkDUusb9DbygpDNdGV-9EJWMOvcyH7Q1ztCKZSyZ4x6oCf_aV8vNrbWakuHYBv9zWGWEu_TfEGciIW9PmjfKh1iCBPOl770sMcaF2viyhVNQEI3o/s1600-h/IMG_0656.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7NiMkSwlDkFIEB1a8B0EnhKpLFJ-AkDUusb9DbygpDNdGV-9EJWMOvcyH7Q1ztCKZSyZ4x6oCf_aV8vNrbWakuHYBv9zWGWEu_TfEGciIW9PmjfKh1iCBPOl770sMcaF2viyhVNQEI3o/s200/IMG_0656.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235382472704156274" /></a><br />As the banner in front of our school so clearly announces, at Telesis Character Comes First! The new school year for 2008-2009 will be no different: Character-building will be an important part of every school day. Mrs. Mills, Intermediate teacher, shared the following with me and I thought it appropriate to pass it on here. <br /><br />Watch your thought,<br />they become words.<br />Watch your words,<br />they become actions.<br />Watch your actions,<br />they become habits.<br />Watch your habits,<br />they become your character.<br />Watch your character, <br />it becomes your destiny.Dr. Breecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02453212640731160737noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115931307948981961.post-71892646491085831172008-06-07T11:57:00.000-07:002008-06-08T05:22:30.038-07:00What's the Best Investment?Your child's education at Telesis Preparatory Academy which is FREE!<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1ZfNviq3fXY&hl=en&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1ZfNviq3fXY&hl=en&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Dr. Breecehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02453212640731160737noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1115931307948981961.post-22061800099213063332008-06-06T19:06:00.000-07:002008-06-06T19:15:32.213-07:00Graduation 2008Congratulations Telesis Class of 2008!<br /><br />Graduation is always a time of reflection and this year is no different as eleven Telesis Graduates receive their diplomas on June 5, 2008.
