We’re still bubbling over from Friday! 🫧🤩

Our Foam Party was SO much fun that apparently it took us a few days to recover enough to post the pictures. 😂 From the smiles and laughter to being completely covered in foam, this was pure JOY from start to finish!

These are the moments that make this year so special. 🩵🐍🫧

Happy National PTSO Day!

Today we celebrate every parent, volunteer, and PTSO member who has given their time, energy, and heart to AKI over the years. You have cheered on our students, supported our teachers, created traditions, and helped make this school feel like a community.

And to the current PTSO—thank you feels especially important. During a year filled with big emotions and difficult goodbyes, you have already taken such incredible care of our students, staff, and families. You’ve continued to create joy, celebrate traditions, and make sure our final year together is filled with the moments that make AKI so special.

Thank you for loving this school right alongside us and for helping us finish our story surrounded by the community that has always been at the heart of it. 🐍🩵

You are forever part of the AKI legacy. 🖤🩵
