00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.627
Hi, I'm Natalie Germaine,
00:00:01.835 --> 00:00:03.545
director of ALA Mesa North,
00:00:03.754 --> 00:00:05.714
a brand new state-of-the-art campus
00:00:05.714 --> 00:00:06.798
for our Mesa community.
00:00:06.840 --> 00:00:08.717
I'm so excited to take you on this tour.
00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:09.676
Come along with me.
00:00:10.928 --> 00:00:12.471
At American Leadership Academy,
00:00:12.471 --> 00:00:14.473
patriotism is extremely important,
00:00:14.556 --> 00:00:16.225
and it starts right here in the lobby.
00:00:16.517 --> 00:00:18.727
As you can see, we always have an American flag,
00:00:19.019 --> 00:00:20.354
our founding documents,
00:00:20.604 --> 00:00:23.482
and President George Washington praying at Valley Forge.
00:00:23.565 --> 00:00:26.193
We also have our mission, our vision, and our values,
00:00:26.527 --> 00:00:28.070
where we support the family.
00:00:28.070 --> 00:00:31.281
We want to partner with you to provide the best educational experience
00:00:31.573 --> 00:00:33.242
to as many students as possible
00:00:33.450 --> 00:00:35.202
in a moral and wholesome environment.
00:00:35.953 --> 00:00:37.079
At ALA Mesa North,
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:38.705
we are the home of the Mavericks,
00:00:38.956 --> 00:00:42.376
the first campus in the East Valley to have this mascot.
00:00:43.335 --> 00:00:45.003
And here's our Leader of the Month board
00:00:45.003 --> 00:00:46.880
where we choose students each month
00:00:46.922 --> 00:00:48.900
who have exemplified one of our R.A.I.S.E. values.
00:00:49.020 --> 00:00:50.800
Our R.A.I.S.E. values are
00:00:50.900 --> 00:00:54.800
respect, accountability, integrity, service, and excellence.
00:00:55.138 --> 00:00:57.224
Here's our Maverick Cafenasium
00:00:57.224 --> 00:00:59.226
where we hold PE class as well as eat lunch.
00:00:59.300 --> 00:01:01.300
We hold many events in our Cafenasium
00:01:01.436 --> 00:01:05.490
like concerts where parents can come and watch their children perform.
00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:08.483
Our student of the month assembly is held here every single month
00:01:08.483 --> 00:01:11.695
as well as many community events.
00:01:14.074 --> 00:01:17.411
Here in one of our classrooms you can see the patriotism continues.
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:21.998
We say our pledge of allegiance every morning during morning announcements.
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.007
As you can see here,
00:01:23.111 --> 00:01:25.980
the students' desks are face-forward, in direct instruction
00:01:26.334 --> 00:01:29.627
because we believe the teacher is the most powerful tool in the classroom.
00:01:29.890 --> 00:01:34.300
We are a traditional school with a mostly pencil-to-paper curriculum,
00:01:34.633 --> 00:01:35.967
mixed with a little technology.
00:01:37.306 --> 00:01:38.832
Here's our playground.
00:01:39.123 --> 00:01:41.184
Not only do we want to educate your child in the classroom,
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:43.395
but we want to provide an area where they can create
00:01:43.437 --> 00:01:46.689
friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.
00:01:47.608 --> 00:01:49.401
Thank you for joining us on the tour today.
00:01:49.404 --> 00:01:51.193
We hope to see you soon.
