Mrs. Head’s kindergarten class enjoyed a fall nature walk as they explored the world through their five senses! 🍂 From listening to the sounds of nature and observing the changing leaves to touching, smelling, and discovering the beauty around them, our students enjoyed learning through hands-on exploration.

Have a fun and safe fall break, Patriots! We look forward to seeing you back on campus Tuesday, October 13, and we’re excited to kick off Spirit Week on Wednesday, October 14.

Check out this year’s dress-up days as we continue celebrating America’s 250th anniversary. Don’t forget to make plans for Friday’s festivities, including our Patriot Cookout and Patriot Town, set up for kids starting at 5 p.m. Then, stick around to cheer on the Patriots at 7pm and watch our Homecoming Queen be crowned during halftime of the football game.

There will be something for every Patriot!

Fun in Middle School STEM!

Project #3 was all about personalized picture frames! Students perfected their 45-degree angle cuts to create 4x6 and 5x7 frames, while our 6th-grade STEM students designed 11x14 and 20x14 frames for our art students. Pallet Project #2 was a breeze this time around! We loved this collaboration and can’t wait to see other APA students’ creations displayed in these frames!
