Summer Anchor Adventures 📚☀️

Mrs. Giesting spent part of her summer at Lake Monroe with friends and enjoyed touring the Indiana University campus. One of her favorite discoveries was this inspiring quote:

“A good book is the precious life blood of a master spirit.” — John Milton, Areopagitica (1644)

A fitting find for an English teacher and a wonderful reminder of the lasting power of great books. 💙⚓

🌎📚 Summer is a great time for learning, connecting, and celebrating! Our APS Spanish teacher recently attended the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP) Annual Conference in Orlando, where our local chapter was honored with the Small Chapter of the Year Award! 🏆

The conference provided a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow educators, exchange innovative teaching strategies, and explore the future of world language education. Congratulations on this well deserved recognition! 🎉

Summer is a great time for learning and growth! ☀️📚 Dr. Noon and Mrs. Fischer participated in the certified evaluation training through the Principal Partnership Project, joining fellow educators in strengthening their leadership skills and continuing their professional growth. We’re grateful for their commitment to learning and for investing their time this summer to prepare for another great school year ahead!

☀️ Summer Camp Highlight: Cardboard Camp 📦✨

Imagination took center stage at Cardboard Camp with Mrs. Durham and Mrs. Neel! Using cardboard and a variety of craft materials, campers put their creativity to work as they designed, built, and brought their unique ideas to life.

From brainstorming and problem solving to collaborating and creating, this camp was filled with hands on fun and endless imagination. We loved seeing what our talented campers dreamed up all week long! ✂️🎨📦
