Our students were visited by Super Woman and Wonder Woman at today’s assembly.  These two superheroes were able to recognize all of our students registering for the Fun Run and raising money for our school in Zambia.  It was great to feel their power and excitement about our project.  Who knows they might even show up for the 5K!

 

Our students are excited about our “Heroes for Zambia” fundraising week.  Sumaiya and Drake are showing the incentives that they will be raising money for during the campaign.  All of this fundraising will help “Change the World for the Better”!  Get registered for the fundraising campaign. www.iruninutah.com/apa

Congratulations to Sashwath Narayanan for placing 2nd in the State Chess Tournament this past weekend.  Our own Draper team of Visaaradh, Viraaj (Draper 1) and Sashwath placed 4th overall!

Our students had the great opportunity to work with Dr. Cheung Chau, the Director of Orchestral Studies at Utah Valley University, Music Director of Sinfonietta Polonia in Poznań, Poland and Music Director of the  Utah Valley Youth Symphony in Orem, Utah.  Sharing his time, experience and talents was a wonderful way for our students to connect with professionals working at the highest levels of musical performance and studies.  Thank you Dr. Chau!

 

 

A big shout out to Mrs. Gray’s 5th grade class who spent part of their recess time helping to clean up our playground after the strong winds blew in some extra trash.  Thanks for taking pride in our school!

Our Fun Run Planning Committee met today continuing to get all the details for our 1st District Fun Run in place. It takes a lot of behind the scenes work to make events like these happen.  Look for the exciting announcements over the next couple of weeks.

 

Our West Valley 1 school has a great opportunity to participate in “Comcast Cares Day” on Saturday, April 21st.  They are inviting any of our American Prep students and families to participate in this exciting event.  We have flyers at the front office that you can pick up and fill out to get registered for the event.  The more of our families that participate, the better chance our other schools will have to participate in future events.  Come help change one of our schools for the better.

Last month, our 6th grade students participated in a “Reading Challenge” from our curriculum department.  Our P.E. Teacher Mr. Andersen,  joined them for the challenge, reading all the books and discussing them with our students.  Due to the popularity of the challenge, our curriculum department of Lori Stephenson and Pam Gibbons, have brought in some sports themed books for this new challenge that will start later this week.  If anyone has some extra time and would like to help them prepare the books, please come in anytime during the day and check in with curriculum.

Congratulations to our Builders of the Year.  Our school community recognized and celebrated the shining exemplar builders at our school.  This is a very prestigious honor and one richly deserved by all of the students and staff recognized today.  They are all AMAZING!
