AHS SENIOR COLE MCCUE MAKES SCHOOL HISTORY WITH 1ST PLACE HONOR
Cole auditioned for the Region Jazz Band in September and qualified for Area. His audition consisted of performing 3 jazz pieces in contrasting styles and one piece where he had to play an improvised solo. In October, he auditioned at area level and was selected to be First Chair in the ATSSB All-State Jazz Band. Cole is the first wind player in the history of Argyle HS to achieve this honor. There are only 3 students in the entire state of Texas that are selected for trombone for the ATSSB All State Jazz Band. Cole will rehearse and perform with the ATSSB All-State Jazz Band at the TMEA Convention in February. This is Cole's second year as an All-State musician. Last year, Cole represented Argyle as a member of the ATSSB All-State Symphonic Band.

LOCAL NON-PROFIT SERVING SPECIAL NEEDS COMMUNITY AND THEIR FAMILIES
LifeSong Ministry is a local non profit that helps support students in Argyle and surrounding communities. This organization serves the special needs community and their families. They are doing great things, uniting everyone together for a great cause. With the help of Circle of Friends, LifeSong Ministry hosted its first annual “Friendsgiving” at the North Texas Church of Christ in Northlake this past weekend. They had a full Thanksgiving meal together, met new friends from Flower Mound and Roanoke and danced the night away. There is no greater Joy than to see love and joy in action. Much like the well known event started by Tim Tebow, “A Night To Shine”, a prom for special needs students, LifeSong held their talent show SOAR (Stand Out and Roar) last spring and the packed school auditorium proved that the community supports the heart of LifeSong. Other events hosted by LifeSong have been Friday night get togethers for the older kids, a Night of Worship at the Harvest Barn, Christmas and halloween parties for our younger children, pool parties, celebrating birthdays and a fashion show that was held at Texas Motor Speedway!
There is no limit to the ways these children and families can have fun and make lifelong memories, so future plans are in the works for a Christmas party, a Winter Ball, the annual talent show and a trip to Morgans Inspiration Island Water Park in San Antonio, an amusement park and water park for all ages and abilities. Parents with special needs children also need some well deserved respite and we are in the planning stages to make this happen. With the support of the community all of these plans will come to fruition.
The Friendsgiving was a great success and it was because of the helping hands and loving servants hearts that partnered with Lifesong ministry. A huge thank you to North Texas Church of Christ, Anthony Calabrese and his company OVM Financial that sponsored the turkeys and hams. Many amazing friends including DJ Yarbrough, who donated items. Circle of Friends volunteers and Rudy, the DJ that kept everyone on the dance floor! None of this could of been possible without all of the supporters and volunteers. If you know parents or kids in argyle and surrounding areas that would benefit from this growing ministry please contact Tina Zarcone @ 631 - 707 - 5895 or email tzarcone7@gmail.com
If you are interested in donating to this organization or serving with Lifesong there are many ways to get involved. They are always welcoming new volunteers and buddies for events as well as sponsors. Please visit their website - Lifesong.community

THANK YOU HOMEWORK IN A CAFE FOR SPONSORING ARGYLE MIDDLE SCHOOL AGAIN THIS NINE WEEKS!
CHECK OUT THIS INFORMATION ABOUT HOMEWORK IN A CAFE´
Homework In A Cafe (HIAC) is a student-centered mentoring company focused on improving essential academic and executive function skills including organization, time management, goal-setting, and strategies for learning.
At each session, binders, planners, and backpacks are checked for organization and students are taught how to prioritize their assignments and time. As students work, mentors provide guidance, support, and encouragement. Homework In A Cafe is a safe place for teenagers to take risks in their learning, receive help, and make changes to their habits that will positively impact their experience in school and in life.
Students can choose to come on once or twice a week for two hours at the cafe. Along with that, we introduce them to different study and executive skills on regular basis that they can apply school work and life.
