Academy Announcements
Dear Academy Families and Friends,
We hope you had a restful and relaxing April vacation. The weather is certainly getting better and the days are getting longer. It's a great time to get outside and enjoy spring in New England. Here are some important things to note happening around campus and across the district:
- On the Thursday before the break, we had our class photos taken. It's truly amazing to see how much the kids have grown since we did pictures back in the Fall!
- The 5th Grade also held the annual Water Day event, giving our students a hands-on science experience learning all about the different water systems. Thank you to Brian from the NSRWA and all of the parent volunteers who made the event possible.
- Lip Sync is a few weeks away Click here for more info and sign ups! Sign ups are due this week!
- Running Club is back in May. The program will run on Thursdays throughout May. It's part of our Health and Wellness initiatives.
- The AAPC is looking for your help celebrating Teacher Appreciation week (May 5-9). Click here for more information and sign-ups.
- May is just around the corner. Please click the button below for upcoming activities for May and June. New events will be added regularly.
Thank you for all your support and welcome back!!!
Mr. Higgins

Did you know???
Good weather and dismissal time safety reminder:
The good weather is heading our way. Just a reminder that students and families should avoid the driveway, roundabout island and staff parking areas at the end of the day. We want to make sure all of our buses have clear sight of students when leaving campus. Also please avoid the woods area as sticks and other things should be left where they belong and not near the playground areas. Thanks!
Academy Candids!
