A Message from the Principal
Dear Academy Families and Friends,
Term 1 ended on Friday and we are excited for Term 2 to kick off! Please be sure to check the different sections below as there are so many events and activities in the works! To start the month we wrapped up the food drive and shifted over to the Pajama Drive. These next few weeks will be just as busy all the way up to the break. Our Mitten Tree will be returning this week and we'll keep collecting new and gently used coats to help those in need this winter!
We've definitely seen a dip in the temperatures outside so please remember to dress your kiddos for the weather. Jackets, hats, mittens and sensible footwear are all great ideas as the thermometer drops.
Mr. Patrick J. Higgins
Principal
PS-Tuesday is an early release day due to Staff Development. Please plan accordingly!
