🤠💖 Flashback Friday! 🎶🌸

While teachers and parents were busy with parent-teacher conferences, they were treated to a sweet surprise—a Dolly Cart! 🩷✨ What a fun way to celebrate Dolly Day on September 25th! 💕 We loved spreading a little extra sweetness and Dolly-inspired joy! 🎤🌷

Reminder! Did you know? 🚌On the 40th, 80th & 120th day of school, APS captures a snapshot of the bus ridership to report to NMPED. The information collected on this day is very important and impacts the funding our district receives for transportation. Transportation funding not only supports students' daily rides to and from school, it can also support in-district school field trips. 🚌 Tomorrow, Thursday, October 8th, if your child is a bus rider, please help us provide an accurate count by having them ride the bus. 🚌
