An American Preparatory Academy School
One of the hallmarks and traditions of American Prep is the involvement of our parents. I ran into Master Hong this morning when coming in from carpool. He is looking good in one of our spirit wear hoodies that he got for Christmas and will be offering a Tae Kwon Do class for the next three weeks! All the money from this introductory class goes directly to American Prep Education Foundation and “Friends of APA”. Thank you Master Hong!
In our K-6 Classrooms, students eat lunch in their classrooms. During lunch “chew time” our instructors and parent volunteers read books to the students. I had the opportunity to visit Mrs. Foster’s 2nd grade classroom where Ms. Nield was reading from “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”. What a great way to eat lunch and what a great book to hear during the class chew time.
Thank you to some of our upper elementary students that helped us transport a piece of our playground equipment to be installed outside after it was repaired inside. Many hands can make light work, but even with lots of help this piece of equipment was heavy!
Name tags are part of the uniform at American Prep. It was great coming in this week and finding a couple of students being responsible to come to the office to pay for a new name tag and magnetic back. New name tags cost $5 and a magnetic back is $1. The two photos are the before and after shots of these responsible students.
YES! As part of our classical, liberal arts education model, all our students learn cursive starting in Kindergarten. After receiving a cursive tie as a gift, I had the opportunity to visit Mrs. Bailey’s classroom and our cursive Kindergartners as they showed off some of their recent work.
This is one of me favorite classrooms in the school. Sue Bauman, one of our outstanding P.E. teachers is working with one of our 3rd grade classes. We are so lucky to have such talented and skilled staff that make learning fun and exciting.
One of the best parts of our school is the amazing staff that work together with all of your students. You can see the joy left in their faces, even at the end of a full day of teaching. From left to right, Mrs. Durling, Ms. Callister, Mrs. Henry, Mrs. Dayberry, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Thomas and Ms. Bodtcher.
Our students work very hard in their classrooms and need some play time during the day. It was a nice surprise when I had the opportunity to help fill in with a 1st Grade classroom and spend the lunch recess outside with the students. Our playground equipment gets well used during recess time!
Welcome back to all of our students! Mrs. Durling started things off with an assembly for grades K-3 in the gym. All of our students and staff brought positive energy as they raised their hands with excitement for the start of our new calendar year.
