I am a builder when I am willing to try and believe in my ability to succeed
“Words are very powerful and help you change the way you see yourself and how others see themselves, too. If you don’t feel like you can do something, repeating the words “I am brave” can help you do it” – Diane Albert, A Little SPOT of Confidence

APA Multicultural Festival
Hello Parents, APA is preparing for our Annual Multicultural Festival on April 16th, 3-5pm. We will have food, performances, vendors and lots of fun! All students and families are WELCOME. We are looking for families to come and present information about their country of origin. We will provide a table to use and you may bring whatever you’d like as a visual representation. You are also welcome to bring cultural food for people to sample or food to sell. If you choose to bring food, you will need your own serving materials and a way to keep the food at the desired temperature. If you would like to participate, please email lpetherbridge@apamail.org. We look forward to seeing you at this wonderful event!
Dance Auditions
Dance Company and Ballroom Team Auditions for next school year, will be held April 14th from 2:30-5:30pm in the Dance Room. We are inviting all incoming 8th-12th graders to audition. Please arrive early so you have time to fill out an audition form and warm up.

Childcare Employment Opportunity
American Preparatory Academy provides a low-cost childcare service for all of their employees and is housed within the WV2 campus. Not only is this program affordable but it is also a high-quality childcare experience for their children. Our staff say that due to this incredible service, they can now afford childcare, and have a peace of mind that their children are being very well taken care of. This service allows them to provide an amazing education for your children!
We are in desperate need of Childcare Providers to care for their children in our program. The positions can be full time or part time, between the hours of 7:00 – 4:30, Monday – Friday. This is a great way to give back to your child’s teachers by caring for their children while they spend tireless hours teaching your children. If we are not able to fill these positions, we may not be able to continue to offer this amazing service to our teachers. If you would be interested in working in our staff childcare program and are qualified for this position, or know of someone that is, please contact Jennifer Brown at jennifer.brown@apamail.org or go to our APA website (https://www.americanprep.org/careers/) and fill out an application.

After School Programs
Hello American Preparatory Families!
Congratulations to our Sistema students that completed 100 and 200 homework assignments. They all received a special certificate this week. Well done! Our goal is to complete 20,000 homework assignments afterschool by the end of the school year. We have completed nearly 13,000 assignments thus far. We will have a no missing homework incentive from term 4 on Friday, April 1st. Please check your child’s learning plan daily to help them to stay current with their assignments.
Please make sure your child has their instrument with them every day. We are beginning to learn Spring Concert music and every student needs to be able to participate to be able to perform in the concert. If you see your child, come out to the car with their instrument, please make sure that it is brought inside and not left in the car. The cold winter temperatures could cause harm to the instruments and some might even crack or break due to the weather. I suggest placing their instrument by their backpack as they are getting ready for bed to make sure that it does not get forgotten.
Dates to Remember
- March 22-NO Sistema-Early dismissal for professional development
- March 25-End of Term 4 (ALL missing work must be turned in this day to be eligible for the “no missing homework” incentive)
