News From the Nest
Week of January 17-21, 2022
MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL HONOHAN
Dear Falcon Families,
On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we are reflecting on Dr. King's dream and our continued initiatives of service. We acknowledge the work still to be done in our world for equity and justice, and here at APSK8, we are committed to this continued work.
Due to a generous donation, our Falcon Fund was recently able to award $5,000 in grants exclusively for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion directly to APSK8 applicants. These winning projects will be rolled out in the coming month and will be featured as these ideas come to life.
On this important day, I'd like to kick off our first Student Design Challenge of the New Year. Create a design for an enamel pin that represents a vision for our school. We are looking for a pin design that showcases elements of diversity, inclusion and love. Peace and friendships are other elements that might be included. Students can either print the entry form below or create a design digitally or on paper. Please include a brief narrative on the back about the design and why elements were selected. We will showcase the finalists for a community vote and the winning design will be made into an enamel pin. All entries are due by Februrary 18th.
Looking forward to a great week,
Trevor Honohan
Principal, Audubon Park School
Enter our Student Design Challenge for the Official APS Pin of 2022!
