A Message from the Principal
Dear Academy Families and Friends,
The infamous Ides of March...it's hard to believe the month is already half over! But fear not, the second half will be just as busy as the first half. This past Friday, our school came together to celebrate the ROAR Awards. Students were recognized by the students and staff. Big shout outs to Classrooms 4M and 1M for taking home the Golden Paw and Jr. Golden Paw for an outstanding performance this past month.
It was great to kick off the Wildcat Water Zone last Wednesday and we look forward to the next two flavors, cucumber and mint. The 3v3 Basketball brackets are set. March 26th we'll have 28 teams take the court at the Adams Gymnasium to play for the coveted basketball title. Also, please note the date change for Panda Day below from the 19th to the 27th. With the snowdays, we pushed it back to allow the Kinders a little more time to work on their big project.
Parent Teacher Conference letters should be coming home tomorrow, please be sure to schedule an appointment. Our goal is to see every family and strengthen those home and school connections and get set the for the last trimester of the school year.
Thank you for all of your support,
Mr. Higgins
Principal
