Dear Falcon Families,

Congratulations to our students representing APS at recent competitions this past week! We had participants in the 4-H Oration Contest, the International Academic Competition (including a Science Bee, History Bee, and Geography Bee), and Solo and Ensemble (band/orchestra). We are so proud of your hard work!

This week begins our Black History Month presentation series! Local community members will be visiting our students to share their culture and careers. Thank you to our volunteers!

Please remember that we do have school tomorrow, February 20 as it is a hurricane make up day.

APS is trying to get our name in the Guinness Book of Records by conducting the longest cereal box domino challenge! The current record is 6k+, we are looking to collect 10,000 boxes of UNOPENED cereal boxes to beat the record! Once the challenge is completed, all cereal boxes will be donated to local food banks. We’ll be collecting boxes leading up to March 10th and prizes are up for grabs for classes that collect the most boxes!

Congratulations to all participants in the 4-H Oration Contest!
