Dear Academy Families & Friends,

Last Friday, we celebrated this past month's Peacebuilder Award winners. This is going to be even busier week with International Festival on Tuesday and the Lip Sync on Friday. Both events are free and at the nex Chapman Middle School and open to all students and their families. We hope to see you there! Please join us!
