One of the great parts of our school are the week long breaks that are scheduled throughout the year.  It gives all of us a chance to rest and recharge.  Spending part of the break reading from the stack of books that one collects, is always one of my favorite ways to spend the extra time.  Here are some of the books from my stack that were read over this break.

After a full and busy week of teaching at American Prep, our staff enjoyed a wonderful luncheon together this afternoon.  BIG THANKS to our amazing parent volunteers that put this event together and a special SHOUT OUT and THANKS to the Song family of the Draper Cup Bop and Itto Sushi in Midvale for providing the amazing and delicious meal.

As part of an American Prep tradition, our parents decorate our teachers doors as part of our staff appreciation week.  This years theme is “The Magical Kingdom of APA”.  Thank you to all of our wonderful parent volunteers that started their decorations today and will be working over the weekend transforming our school into a Magical Kingdom.

Congratulations to all of our Spelling Bee Finalists and winners from grades 1-3.
