A lot of you are looking for an update. The short answer is, we're working on it. The long answer is that some things take time to do right, and we are unwilling to rush them. Our board voted a while back to end classes at Westminster Presbyterian Church due to multiple concerns brought to us by parents. It was a difficult decision, and not one made lightly. It really highlighted the importance of place for our community.

While we had hoped to be able to announce a new location before now, these things cannot be hurried if we want the best long-term results. Meantime, our tiny Board of Directors has been busy handling the move out of Westminster and pursuing a variety of suggestions from the community for possible locations. We have advised our wonderful teachers that we may not be able to begin classes in the fall so that they can pursue other options if they choose. We feel obligated to also let you, our community, know that you may need to find other options for fall classes while we work on reinventing Antics for the future.

For those looking for Yearbooks, I believe they were ordered a while back, but I am awaiting confirmation and more data to share.
