Dear Falcon Families,


We hope all of our Falcon Families are safe and well after the storm. We are so thankful for the APS Cares branch of PTSA as they are ready to provide assistance to our families at this time. If your family is in need, please do not hesitate to reach out to AudubonParkSchoolPTSA@gmail.com.


Remember, all OCPS schools will remain closed on Monday, October 3. We look forward to seeing all Falcons back at APS on Tuesday, October 4.


We have rescheduled the Gator Shower and our Gifts from the Heart Auction for this week!


The Gifts from the Heart Auction begins Tuesday, October 4 at 9am and will be live through Thursday, October 6 at 9pm (following the Gator Shower). Download the Handbid App and follow the instructions or simply visit tinyurl.com/APSGFTH and save to your favorites. We look forward to the amazing experiences your students will have thanks to these Gifts from the Heart!


We hope to see our Falcon Families at the Gator Shower on Thursday, October 6 from 4:30pm-7:30pm. Join us for photo ops with real gators, t-shirts, tons of animals, food, vendors, face painting, balloons, crafts, games with prizes, dancing, and so much more!
