Building Minds and Muscles!
While waiting their turn in a game, Cade, Emily and Hyrum, some of our 6th grade students, joined Mr. Andersen in one legged wall sits. At American Prep we build minds and muscles!

Special thanks to Nicole Harman our FSO leader and Cup Bop and the Song family for such delicious food!

Multi-Cultural Appreciation
American Prep is school of many families and cultures. Mrs. Hyer’s 4th grade class had the opportunity to hear Lily play the zither in their classroom. Lily wore a traditional dress while playing this traditional instrument and all of her classmates were amazed. Thank you Lily for sharing your culture and music with our students and school!
Staff Appreciation Week
One of our annual traditions at American Prep began on Friday as our wonderful parents and students spent the evening decorating the doors of our staff. It is the start of a great week of appreciating the hard work of our staff to educate our students. Thank you to all of our families for your work and incredible creativity.
Note One Thing Ever!
It was great to see Mrs. Foster’s class coming in from recess with their Instructor Mr. Zaugg and a trash can. This class felt empowered to take care of their own recess trash and even brought out their own trash can to put their recess trash. Thanks for keeping our school and Playground clean!
Snow Day!
Wow! What a snowstorm! It is one of those rare days that happen during a winter storm when it is not safe to travel to school. So, to the delight of many of our students, American Prep did not have school today. Although the school looks empty and deserted, we look forward to having all of our staff and students back filling the halls, classrooms and parking lots tomorrow.
Volunteer Breakfast!
One of the most important factors in what makes an effective school is parental involvement. At American Prep we are very fortunate to have so many highly involved parents. Our parents make our school great and as a show of our appreciation, we had a breakfast where Mr. McVicar and our administrative staff made pancakes for our parents. Our students also made “Thank you” posters as a sign of their appreciation.
Chess Champion!
George Wang, one of our 4th grade students participated in the 2nd largest chess tournament in Salt Lake last weekend. Even though he is only in 4th grade, he competed with 8th graders and still took 1st place, earning a full 4 points in his ranking.. Congratulations to George!
Learning about the Incas!
Mr. and Mrs. Callister came into Ms. Callister’s 1st grade classroom to share some stories and art from their trip to Peru. Our first grade classes have just completed their unit on the Inca and these stories and pictures from actual villages in the Andes mountains were a special treat.
