Heads up Maples!!! Great Opportunity from Associated Charities.

As we gear up for another school year in the coming weeks, we wanted to share a few items of importance regarding our APS Community Recreation programs. We will now be using this avenue as well as our social media platforms to get information out on upcoming Youth Recreation Programs. This will allow us to reach our "Young Maples" through multiple communications and give every opportunity to them when new program registrations are offered. We look forward to seeing our Young Maples this school year and encourage them to take advantage of multiple programs throughout the year as we grow and improve our APS Community Recreation Department.

Our current programs that are open for registration on RecDesk are:

* 5th/6th Grade Tackle Football- closes 8/21

* 3rd/4th & 5th/6th Grade Volleyball- closes 8/30
