Wednesday, September 22nd ATMSA celebrated Dads Take Your Child to School Day” with around 100 Dads, Step-Dads, GrandDads, Godfathers, Uncles, Guardians,
Moms and community members. Thank you to our keynote speaker Minister Gerald Clay of Bethel Family Life Center.

"Dads Take Your Child to School Day” began statewide in Florida in 2015 with the vision of fathers and father figures taking their student to school and learning how significant their presence is in their children’s schools. Research shows that when fathers and father figures are involved in a child’s education, children perform better academically, have fewer discipline problems and become more responsible adults.

The Tartan Terrors visited our Strings class on April 28. Here's a quote from our Arts Teacher, Ms. Chandler: "When different musical groups and artists come to the school it really opens up an opportunity for me to be creative with the kids on a different level. The artists Opening Nights bring into our school paves the way for even more creative, teachable moments that we can all relate and connect to, which is something I feel is very important to the artistic process."

Today was Pre-K's Water Day and we really can't put into words how much fun the kids had with their teachers. We think the pictures do it more justice.
