I am a builder when I am utterly reliable (changing the world for the better)

Reliability teaches our children the importance of being dependent for others, it helps reinforce accountability and being counted on. 

 Good read –  The Brothers’ Promise, written by Frances Harber, illustrated by Thor Wickstrom,

The book is about two brothers who make a promise to their father that they will always look out for each other.  A drought soon hits their farm, making the worried bachelor brother Yankel, sneak extra food to his brother Joseph for he and his family to survive.  Here they tell their story of unselfishness and love through dependability and being reliable on each other.

West Valley 2 PAC Election

We have 3 vacancies to fill for our 2023 Parent Advisory Council and one candidate has volunteered, making this an uncontested election. APA’s policy states: “If there are no contested seats at the end of the 21-day notice period, an election need not take place. Uncontested seats will instead be filled by majority election of the remaining PAC members.”

Our current Parent Advisory Committee will vote on the following candidate during their August meeting.

• Albanie Stoddard

I am very interested in joining the board and being able to learn more about APA and how we as parents can help support the growth of students attending APA. I am fairly new to the district as I currently have a Kindergartener attending, however next year I will have a First Grader and another Kindergartener and we are so excited to continue our journey at APA. I can’t say enough good things about our experience thus far. 

I currently serve as a member on my community HOA Board so I would say I have experience being a part of a Board and the level of expectations required with it. I also consider myself a very involved parent and jump at any opportunity to be at the school with my child, volunteering, or helping with celebrating our staff. 

Our returning council includes the following parents:

• Monica Barreto
• Valter Barreto
• Jeff Maroney
• Amie Jacobson
• Irene Christenson
• Christopher Nash
  

Information on our current Parent Advisory Committee and Land Trust duties can be found on our website at https://www.americanprep.org/land-trust/

We look forward to serving you for another year!

Buddy Poppy

In preparation for our Memorial Day Assembly.  Buddy Poppy donation envelopes are being ordered to go home with your students.

​​These are the opening words of Colonel John McCrea’s Immortal poem dedicated to the memory of the men and women who served, fought and died in France during World War 1. The poppies of which he wrote have become the true symbol of all those who have given their lives in our nation’s Wars.

The poppy has become recognized as the memorial flower in countries around the world. It is distributed by veteran’s organizations in Europe, North America, and in most of the countries of the British Commonwealth.

 Since 1922, the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States has conducted an annual distribution of “Buddy” poppies to raise funds for its charitable programs on behalf of the needy and disabled veterans, and the surviving family members of deceased veterans.

POPPIES EVERYWHERE

 Today, buddy poppies are distributed by posts and auxiliary of the VFW in every state of the union and in dozens of other countries. Some 14 million are distributed annually; most of them during the period preceding Memorial Day and Veterans Day, but many of them at other times of the year.

More than 11 million dollars is raised each year through the distribution of the Buddy poppies – – all of it strictly accounted for and dedicated entirely to Veterans welfare.  Under the unique VFW distribution system, the proceeds of the distribution are divided between the national, state, and local charitable purposes.

 When you make a donation …  you have contributed to the Veterans of Foreign Wars National Home for Children of deceased or disabled veterans at Eaton Rapids, Michigan… to the National VFW rehabilitation services in Washington, DC… to the VFW rehabilitation service in your own State… and to direct assistance programs for needy and disabled veterans and active service members and their families in your own community. 

The services made possible through your donation are available to ALL needy veterans, active service members and their families – – not just those who are Veterans of Foreign Wars. Hundreds of thousands of non-members are assisted with disability claims and served in hospitals each year by Veterans of Foreign Wars.

How can so little do so much?  The person from whom you received your poppy is a volunteer. Their supervisor is a volunteer and the people who helped organize the distribution are volunteers. Their only pay is the satisfaction which comes from devoting time and effort to a worthy cause. However, there is someone who does get paid. The disabled veterans who assembled the poppy from the original parts receives a nominal sum for their work. The amount is small, but it does help them buy the little luxuries which make hospital life tolerable and it does permit them to purchase a gift now and then for their loved ones at home.

When you are handed a “Buddy Poppy”, give generously… And when you wear your Poppy, do it proudly.

And when you see VFW and auxiliary volunteers working in veteran’s hospitals, visiting the sick and helping them with their problems, give them a word of greeting.   You are Partners in a great work.

     Welcome to another fun-filled week of music-making at Sistema Utah! It’s hard to believe that there are only two weeks left to work with our Sistema students before school ends. The good news is that we have A LOT going on to help build up our students musically and to inspire them over the summer. 

As our Sistema Utah “Take Flight” Spring Concert is THIS WEEK! Our students sound AMAZING! You are all in for a treat for our concert. It is also crucial that EACH Sistema Utah student – elementary and secondary – come each day of class so that they are ready to perform. Again, our special guest will be Alex Boye and your child will NOT want to miss this! We have an action packed concert week, so please make sure that your students come DAILY.  Note the following dates so that you can plan accordingly.

If you were on a waiting list, we invite you to attend via livestream which is https://vimeo.com/event/2059059. Tickets are reserved seating which means that you MUST bring your ticket with you so that you know which seats have been assigned to you.

  • Secondary students need to be in concert black for the concert.
• Friday, May 27th 3:30-5:30 p.m. – Lights Off Community Event – ENTIRE FAMILY IS INVITED and Last day of afterschool programs.

Please be sure that your child brings their instrument to school daily if they bring it home to practice.

That means that every student needs to have their instrument and any music with them for their instrument class. 

As a reminder, we have Sistema Google classrooms for your child’s instrument and singing classes. Each student has been invited to join their respective classrooms. There is a video that they need to push play on and practice along with. This will help them to be prepared for our upcoming concert. 

We have sent Sign Up Genius volunteer opportunities as well. We would appreciate your help to have our events be successful. Below are the volunteer opportunities:

• Concert Day – Friday, May 20th – We have many needs for ushering, clean up, passing out programs, etc. Sign up here!

I am a builder when I am utterly reliable (changing the world for the better)

In the book about a young girl, Maya who finds herself alone at school, a teacher helps her fellow students learn the importance of being a friend, through the example of dropping a stone into a bowl of water to demonstrate how powerful the ripples from a single act of kindness can be.  

“This is what kindness does, ” Ms. Albert said.  Each little thing we do goes out, like a ripple, into the world.”- Woodson & Lewis, Each kindness

El Programa de Becas para Necesidades Especiales de Carson Smith (CSS, por sus siglas en inglés) brinda asistencia para la matrícula para aquellos que calificarían para educación especial y servicios relacionados en escuelas públicas, estudiantes con necesidades especiales elegibles para preescolar inscritos en escuelas privadas no elegibles.

Los hogares que califican para el almuerzo gratis o a precio reducido antes del 6 de mayo pueden ser elegibles para la EBT pandémica

Padres APA,

Los estudiantes que califican para los beneficios de comidas gratis o a precio reducido pueden ser potencialmente elegibles para la EBT pandémica (P-EBT). P-EBT puede ayudar a las personas a comprar alimentos si sus hijos han perdido temporalmente el acceso a comidas gratuitas o a precio reducido debido al cierre de escuelas por emergencias relacionadas con COVID u otras ausencias escolares relacionadas con COVID durante el año escolar 2021-2022.

Durante el año escolar 2021-22, todos los estudiantes, independientemente de su nivel de ingresos, recibirán almuerzo gratis cada día que asistan a la escuela. Sin embargo, esto no otorga automáticamente a los estudiantes un estatus gratuito reducido, ni califica a los estudiantes para P-EBT. El 20 de abril, enviamos un correo electrónico que incluía una carta con el estado de elegibilidad de su estudiante(s) (gratis, reducido o pagado). Si sus estudiantes ya califican para comidas gratuitas a precio reducido, NO envíe otra solicitud. Le enviaremos un correo electrónico dentro de unas semanas con un enlace para solicitar los beneficios.

Si sus estudiantes tienen el estado de almuerzo PAGADO pero cree que su hogar podría calificar para comidas gratuitas a precio reducido, lo alentamos a enviar una solicitud antes del 6 de mayo de 2022. Siga este enlace: https://www.americanprep.org/school- programa-almuerzo/elegibilidad/

Envíe un correo electrónico a lunch@apamail.org si tiene preguntas.

amiga amapola

En preparación para nuestra Asamblea del Día de los Caídos. Se están ordenando sobres de donación de Buddy Poppy para que se los lleven a casa con sus estudiantes.

​​Estas son las palabras iniciales del poema Inmortal del Coronel John McCrea dedicado a la memoria de los hombres y mujeres que sirvieron, lucharon y murieron en Francia durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Las amapolas que escribió se han convertido en el verdadero símbolo de todos aquellos que han dado sus vidas en las guerras de nuestra nación.

La amapola ha sido reconocida como la flor conmemorativa en países de todo el mundo. Es distribuido por organizaciones de veteranos en Europa, América del Norte y en la mayoría de los países de la Commonwealth británica.

 Desde 1922, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States ha realizado una distribución anual de amapolas “Buddy” para recaudar fondos para sus programas de caridad en nombre de los veteranos necesitados y discapacitados, y los familiares sobrevivientes de los veteranos fallecidos.

 AMAPOLAS POR TODAS PARTES

 Hoy en día, las amapolas amigas se distribuyen por correos y auxiliares de la VFW en todos los estados de la unión y en decenas de otros países. Anualmente se distribuyen unos 14 millones; la mayoría de ellos durante el período anterior al Día de los Caídos y al Día de los Veteranos, pero muchos de ellos en otras épocas del año.

Cada año se recaudan más de 11 millones de dólares a través de la distribución de las amapolas Buddy, todo estrictamente contabilizado y dedicado por completo al bienestar de los veteranos. Bajo el exclusivo sistema de distribución de VFW, las ganancias de la distribución se dividen entre los fines benéficos nacionales, estatales y locales.

 Cuando haces una donación…

 usted ha contribuido al Hogar Nacional de Veteranos de Guerras Extranjeras para Hijos de veteranos fallecidos o discapacitados en Eaton Rapids, Michigan… a los servicios de rehabilitación Nacional VFW en Washington, DC… al servicio de rehabilitación VFW en su propio Estado.. y para dirigir programas de asistencia para veteranos discapacitados y necesitados y miembros del servicio activo y sus familias en su propia comunidad.

 Los servicios hechos posibles a través de su donación están disponibles para TODOS los veteranos necesitados, miembros del servicio activo y sus familias, no solo para aquellos que son Veteranos de Guerras en el Extranjero. Cientos de miles de no miembros son asistidos con reclamos por discapacidad y atendidos en hospitales cada año por Veteranos de Guerras Extranjeras.

 ¿Cómo tan poco puede hacer tanto?

 La persona de quien recibiste tu amapola es un voluntario. Su supervisor es un voluntario y las personas que ayudaron a organizar la distribución son voluntarios. Su única paga es la satisfacción que les da dedicar tiempo y esfuerzo a una causa digna. Sin embargo, hay alguien a quien sí se le paga. Los veteranos discapacitados que ensamblaron la amapola a partir de las partes originales reciben una suma nominal por su trabajo. La cantidad es pequeña, pero les ayuda a comprar los pequeños lujos que hacen tolerable la vida en el hospital y les permite comprar algún regalo de vez en cuando para sus seres queridos en casa.

Cuando le entreguen un “Buddy Poppy”, dé generosamente.

Y cuando uses tu Poppy, hazlo con orgullo.

Y cuando veas a voluntarios de VFW y auxiliares trabajando en hospitales de veteranos, visitando a los enfermos y ayudándolos en sus problemas, salúdalos.

 Sois socios en una gran obra.

¡Hola familias de WV2 Sistema!

La buena noticia es que tenemos MUCHO para ayudar a desarrollar musicalmente a nuestros estudiantes e inspirarlos durante el verano.

Como faltan 4 semanas y media para nuestro Concierto de Primavera “Take Flight” de Sistema Utah, comenzaremos nuestros ensayos esta semana. También es crucial que CADA estudiante de Sistema Utah – primaria y secundaria – venga cada día de clase para que estén listos para actuar. ¡Nuevamente, nuestro invitado especial será Alex Boye y su hijo NO querrá perderse esto!

Por favor, coloque las siguientes fechas en sus calendarios. Aquellos que tengan un horario modificado deberán asistir a cada ensayo para asegurarse de que estén listos para realizar nuestra gran final. Gracias por ayudar a su hijo a tener éxito en este concierto único en la vida.

Asegúrese de que su hijo traiga su instrumento a la escuela todos los días si lo trae a casa para practicar. Tenemos la misma expectativa que durante el día que cada estudiante esté preparado con sus materiales diariamente. Eso significa que cada estudiante necesita tener su instrumento y cualquier música con ellos para su clase de instrumento.

Hemos comenzado a utilizar nuestras aulas Sistema Google para las clases de instrumento y canto de su hijo. Cada estudiante ha sido invitado a unirse a sus respectivas aulas. Hay un video que necesitan presionar para reproducir y practicar junto con él. Esto les ayudará a estar preparados para nuestro próximo concierto.

I am a builder when I use … KIND AND COURTEOUS WORDS (changing the world for the better)

Courtesy is defined simply as “well-mannered conduct indicative of respect for or consideration of others.” I define courtesy as kind, thoughtful, generous (as in second to another), humble, respectful, and polite. Through the lessons of grace and courtesy we instill the values of respect, honesty, integrity, courage, and kindness. We prepare the child for life. – Mary Lou Cobb, Grace and Courtesy for the Whole School

USBE Special Needs Scholarship Opportunity

School districts and Charter schools are required by Utah Law, 53A1a-704(10), to inform parents of students with IEPs enrolled in public schools, of the availability of a scholarship to attend a private school through the Carson Smith Scholarship Program.  The Carson Smith Special Needs Scholarship Program (CSS) provides tuition assistance for those who would qualify for special education and related services in public schools, preschool eligible special needs students enrolled in ineligible private schools.  The scholarship is for students through 12th grade (3-21 year of age), whose parents choose an eligible private school. For more information on the scholarship, deadline schedule and funding schedule, please visit https://www.schools.utah.gov/specialeducation/programs/carsonsmithscholarship

Households that Qualify for Free or Reduced-price Lunch by May 6 May Be Eligible for Pandemic EBT

APA Parents,       

Students that qualify for free or reduced-price meal benefits may be potentially eligible for pandemic EBT (P-EBT). P-EBT can help individuals purchase food if their children have temporarily lost access to free or reduced-price meals due to school closures from COVID-related emergencies, or other COVID-related school absences during the 2021-2022 school year.      

During the 2021-22 school year, all students, regardless of income status, receive free lunch each day they attend school. However, this does not automatically give students free-reduced status, nor  qualify students for P-EBT.     On April 20th, we sent an email which including a letter with your student(s) eligibility status (free, reduced, or paid).  If your students already qualify for free-reduced meals, DO NOT submit another application. We will send you an email within a few weeks with a link to apply for benefits.     

If your students have PAID lunch status but you believe your household might qualify for free-reduced meals, we encourage you to submit an application before May 6, 2022. Please follow this link: https://www.americanprep.org/school-lunch-program/eligibility/      

Please email lunch@apamail.org if you have questions.

Buddy Poppy

In preparation for our Memorial Day Assembly.  Buddy Poppy donation envelopes are being ordered to go home with your students.

​​These are the opening words of Colonel John McCrea’s Immortal poem dedicated to the memory of the men and women who served, fought and died in France during World War 1. The poppies of which he wrote have become the true symbol of all those who have given their lives in our nation’s Wars.

 The poppy has become recognized as the memorial flower in countries around the world. It is distributed by veteran’s organizations in Europe, North America, and in most of the countries of the British Commonwealth.

 Since 1922, the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States has conducted an annual distribution of “Buddy” poppies to raise funds for its charitable programs on behalf of the needy and disabled veterans, and the surviving family members of deceased veterans.

 POPPIES EVERYWHERE

 Today, buddy poppies are distributed by posts and auxiliary of the VFW in every state of the union and in dozens of other countries. Some 14 million are distributed annually; most of them during the period preceding Memorial Day and Veterans Day, but many of them at other times of the year.

 More than 11 million dollars is raised each year through the distribution of the Buddy poppies – – all of it strictly accounted for and dedicated entirely to Veterans welfare.  Under the unique VFW distribution system, the proceeds of the distribution are divided between the national, state, and local charitable purposes.

 When you make a donation …

 you have contributed to the Veterans of Foreign Wars National Home for Children of deceased or disabled veterans at Eaton Rapids, Michigan… to the National VFW rehabilitation services in Washington, DC… to the VFW rehabilitation service in your own State… and to direct assistance programs for needy and disabled veterans and active service members and their families in your own community.

 The services made possible through your donation are available to ALL needy veterans, active service members and their families – – not just those who are Veterans of Foreign Wars. Hundreds of thousands of non-members are assisted with disability claims and served in hospitals each year by Veterans of Foreign Wars.

 How can so little do so much?

 The person from whom you received your poppy is a volunteer. Their supervisor is a volunteer and the people who helped organize the distribution are volunteers. Their only pay is the satisfaction which comes from devoting time and effort to a worthy cause. However, there is someone who does get paid. The disabled veterans who assembled the poppy from the original parts receives a nominal sum for their work. The amount is small, but it does help them buy the little luxuries which make hospital life tolerable and it does permit them to purchase a gift now and then for their loved ones at home.

When you are handed a “Buddy Poppy”, give generously…and when you wear your Poppy, do it proudly…and when you see VFW and auxiliary volunteers working in veteran’s hospitals, visiting the sick and helping them with their problems, give them a word of greeting. 

You are Partners in a great work.

After School Programs

Hello WV2 Sistema Families!

We are so happy to see our amazing Sistema Utah students this afternoon! It’s hard to believe that there are only six weeks left to work with our Sistema students before school ends. The good news is that we have A LOT going on to help build up our students musically and to inspire them over the summer. 

As our Sistema Utah “Take Flight” Spring Concert is 4 ½ weeks away, we will be beginning our rehearsals this week. It is also crucial that EACH Sistema Utah student – elementary and secondary – come each day of class so that they are ready to perform. Again, our special guest will be Alex Boye and your child will NOT want to miss this!

Please place the following dates on your calendars. Those that have an amended schedule will be required to be in attendance to each rehearsal to ensure that they are ready to perform our grand finale. Thank you for helping your child to be successful for this once-in-a-lifetime concert. 

• Thursday, May 5th 3-4:30 p.m. – Rehearsal (entire program – not just grand finale)
• Tuesday, May 10th 4-6 p.m. – Grand Finale Recording – EACH student needs to be present so that we have all necessary voices for our recording that we will be sending to Mr. Boye. 
• Thursday, May 19th – Dress Rehearsal Day – ALL students will need to stay until 5 p.m. Mr. Boye will be coming to practice with us this day. 
• Friday, May 20th – Rehearsal and Concert Day – ALL students will need to stay until after the concert finishes. Concert begins at 6 p.m. with doors opening at 5:30 p.m. Tickets will be available to order on May 1st. Each student will receive a limited number of tickets and everyone else will be able to watch the livestream. 

Please be sure that your child brings their instrument to school daily if they bring it home to practice. We have the same expectation as the daytime that each student is prepared with their materials daily. That means that every student needs to have their instrument and any music with them for their instrument class. 

We have started utilizing our Sistema Google classrooms for your child’s instrument and singing classes. Each student has been invited to join their respective classrooms. There is a video that they need to push play on and practice along with. This will help them to be prepared for our upcoming concert. 

We will be sending out three Sign Up Genius volunteer opportunities this week as well. We would appreciate your help to have our events be successful. Below are the volunteer opportunities:

• Concert Day – May 20th – We have many needs for ushering, clean up, passing out programs, etc. 
• Lights Off – May 27th – We will need parent volunteers to help with booths, set up, clean up, etc. Are you passionate about a craft or super amazing at face painting? Email Mrs. Christensen to get added to our list tchristensen@apamail.org. 

Thank you so much for your support!

After School Programs

Hello WV2 Sistema Families!

We are so happy to see our amazing Sistema Utah students this afternoon! It’s hard to believe that there are only six weeks left to work with our Sistema students before school ends. The good news is that we have A LOT going on to help build up our students musically and to inspire them over the summer. 

As our Sistema Utah “Take Flight” Spring Concert is 4 ½ weeks away, we will be beginning our rehearsals this week. It is also crucial that EACH Sistema Utah student – elementary and secondary – come each day of class so that they are ready to perform. Again, our special guest will be Alex Boye and your child will NOT want to miss this!

Please place the following dates on your calendars. Those that have an amended schedule will be required to be in attendance to each rehearsal to ensure that they are ready to perform our grand finale. Thank you for helping your child to be successful for this once-in-a-lifetime concert. 

• THIS Thursday, April 21st 3-4 p.m. – Rehearsal
• Wednesday, April 27th 3-4 p.m. – Rehearsal
• Thursday, May 5th 3-4:30 p.m. – Rehearsal (entire program – not just grand finale)
• Tuesday, May 10th 4-6 p.m. – Grand Finale Recording – EACH student needs to be present so that we have all necessary voices for our recording that we will be sending to Mr. Boye. 
• Thursday, May 19th – Dress Rehearsal Day – ALL students will need to stay until 5 p.m. Mr. Boye will be coming to practice with us this day. 
• Friday, May 20th – Rehearsal and Concert Day – ALL students will need to stay until after the concert finishes. Concert begins at 6 p.m. with doors opening at 5:30 p.m. Tickets will be available to order on May 1st. Each student will receive a limited number of tickets and everyone else will be able to watch the livestream. 

Please be sure that your child brings their instrument to school daily if they bring it home to practice. We have the same expectation as the daytime that each student is prepared with their materials daily. That means that every student needs to have their instrument and any music with them for their instrument class. 

We have started utilizing our Sistema Google classrooms for your child’s instrument and singing classes. Each student has been invited to join their respective classrooms. There is a video that they need to push play on and practice along with. This will help them to be prepared for our upcoming concert. 

We will be sending out three Sign Up Genius volunteer opportunities this week as well. We would appreciate your help to have our events be successful. Below are the volunteer opportunities:

• Afterschool Professionals Week April 25-29th – We LOVE our afterschool staff and there is a National week to celebrate all of the amazing things that they do. Please sign up to bring a snack or dinner here. 
• Concert Day – May 20th – We have many needs for ushering, clean up, passing out programs, etc. 
• Lights Off – May 27th – We will need parent volunteers to help with booths, set up, clean up, etc. Are you passionate about a craft or super amazing at face painting? Email Mrs. Christensen to get added to our list tchristensen@apamail.org.

Programas después de la escuela

¡Hola familias de American Preparatory!

Felicitaciones a nuestros estudiantes de Sistema que completaron 100 y 200 tareas asignadas. Todos recibieron un certificado especial esta semana. ¡Bien hecho! Nuestro objetivo es completar 20,000 asignaciones de tareas después de la escuela para el final del año escolar. Hemos completado casi 13,000 asignaciones hasta el momento. Tendremos un incentivo de no faltar tareas a partir del cuarto trimestre el viernes 1 de abril. Verifique el plan de aprendizaje de su hijo diariamente para ayudarlo a mantenerse al día con sus tareas.

Asegúrese de que su hijo tenga su instrumento con ellos todos los días. Estamos comenzando a aprender la música del Concierto de Primavera y todos los estudiantes deben poder participar para poder actuar en el concierto. Si ve a su hijo, salga al automóvil con su instrumento, asegúrese de que lo lleve adentro y no lo deje en el automóvil. Las bajas temperaturas invernales podrían dañar los instrumentos y algunos incluso podrían agrietarse o romperse debido al clima. Sugiero colocar su instrumento junto a su mochila mientras se preparan para irse a la cama para asegurarse de que no lo olviden.

Fechas para recordar

• 19 de mayo: ensayo general obligatorio para el concierto de primavera de 3:00 p. m. a 5:30 p. m.
• 20 de mayo – Concierto de celebración de primavera 6:00 p. m. – Boletos limitados disponibles y deben reservarse.

After School Programs

Hello American Preparatory Families!

Welcome back from Spring Break! We are happy to be back with our students and love hearing music ringing in our hallways once more. We had a VERY special day on Monday – the Fry Street Quartet from Utah State University performed for us and worked with our Sistema Utah students as well. It was a marvelous experience filled with smiles and laughter. 

Please be sure that your child brings their instrument to school daily if they bring it home to practice. We have the same expectation as the daytime that each student is prepared with their materials daily. That means that every student needs to have their instrument and any music with them for their instrument class.

I am a builder when I use … KIND AND COURTEOUS WORDS (changing the world for the better)

James: “You’re a hero”. Earthworm: “I am, I am wonderworm!”- James and the Giant Peach Ronald Dahl

The theme of James and the Giant Peach is that it’s never too late to make friends. Even though James loses his parents and his aunts are mean to him, he still desires to make friends who care about him, and he doesn’t give up. Have you ever desired anything? To desire means to want something very badly. Have you ever been alone on the playground during recess and wished you had someone to play with? If so, then you know exactly how James felt in the story when he desired to make friends. In the end, James is lucky to make new friends on his journey across the Atlantic Ocean in a giant peach!

Today, take the time to meet a new person, make a new friend and be kind to each other.

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.

Oportunidad de empleo en el cuidado de niños

American Preparatory Academy ofrece un servicio de cuidado de niños de bajo costo para todos sus empleados y se encuentra dentro del campus de WV2. Este programa no solo es asequible, sino que también es una experiencia de cuidado infantil de alta calidad para sus hijos.

Programas de actividades extracurriculares después de la escuela

¡Hola familias de American Preparatory!

Esperamos con ansias nuestro Sistema Ensemble y nuestras presentaciones de Little Women en la escuela secundaria. ¡Nuestros estudiantes han trabajado diligentemente para mostrar sus talentos y estamos muy orgullosos de ellos!

Felicitaciones a nuestros estudiantes de Sistema que completaron 100 y 200 tareas asignadas. Todos recibieron un certificado especial esta semana. ¡Bien hecho! Nuestro objetivo es completar 20,000 asignaciones de tareas después de la escuela para el final del año escolar. Hemos completado más de 12,000 asignaciones hasta el momento. Tendremos un incentivo de no faltar tareas a partir del cuarto trimestre el viernes 1 de abril. Verifique el plan de aprendizaje de su hijo diariamente para ayudarlo a mantenerse al día con sus tareas.

Asegúrese de que sus hijos tengan su instrumento con ellos todos los días. Estamos comenzando a aprender la música del Concierto de Primavera y todos los estudiantes deben poder participar para poder actuar en el concierto. Asegúrese de que sus hijos lleven los instrumentos con ellos hacia adentro de la escuela y no los dejen en el automóvil. Las bajas temperaturas invernales podrían dañar los instrumentos y algunos incluso podrían agrietarse o romperse debido al clima. Les sugerimos colocar su instrumento junto a su mochila mientras se preparan para irse a la cama para asegurarse de que no lo olviden.

Carrera FUN RUN 5k – Fundación de American Preparatory

 Llevaremos a cabo nuestra recaudación de fondos Fun Run anual el sábado 7 de mayo en Daybreak Lake en South Jordan. La Fun Run es nuestro mayor evento de recaudación de fondos del año. No solo es importante para recaudar fondos para una gran causa, sino también como un evento de construcción de comunidad.

Este año hemos optado por recaudar fondos para el Fondo de Excelencia en la Enseñanza de la APA, una reserva privada que nos ayuda a obtener y retener a grandes maestros. Como escuela autónoma, recibimos menos dinero que las escuelas públicas locales y, a diferencia de las escuelas públicas, no podemos aumentar los impuestos a la propiedad para generar más dinero cuando se necesita. Los grandes maestros juegan un papel invaluable en la vida de nuestros hijos, y aunque nunca podremos pagarles lo que realmente valen, a través del Fondo de Excelencia Docente de la APA, podemos intentar acercarnos.

Estamos buscando patrocinadores y donaciones para la subasta silenciosa. Si desea patrocinar nuestro evento o hacer una contribución a la subasta silenciosa, o si conoce un negocio local que esté dispuesto a hacerlo, contáctenos en funrun@americanprepfoundation.org  o (801) 661-1928. En el pasado, recibimos artículos de padres de APA, empresas locales, la Universidad de Utah, BYU, Utah Jazz, teatros y más. Si tiene una conexión con alguien de esas organizaciones u otras y está dispuesto a solicitar una donación o patrocinio, sería muy valorado. Si tiene una conexión, pero prefiere que nuestro comité los contacte directamente, comuníquese con nosotros para darnos la información de contacto. Tenemos muchas actividades divertidas e incentivos planeados para nuestros estudiantes. ¡Estamos muy emocionados por esto! Los enlaces para registrarse y/o convertirse en un patrocinador comercial, están en https://www.americanprepfoundation.org/annual-district-fun-run/  Gracias por ser parte de esta recaudación de fondos. ¡Te estamos muy agradecidos!

Oportunidad de beca para necesidades especiales de USBE

Actualización del almuerzo escolar: https://www.americanprep.org/3-8-22-school-lunch-update/ 

¡Esperamos que sus estudiantes estén disfrutando de las comidas proporcionadas por el programa de almuerzo escolar! Queríamos informar a los padres sobre cómo se sirven los almuerzos de Elementaria. Para facilitar la entrega, el plato principal y la fruta se colocan en una bolsa, junto con la merienda que a veces se incluye. Las leches, vegetales y condimentos no están incluidos en la bolsa, pero se proporcionan en el caddie o carrito. El personal del almuerzo rastrea y ajusta cuidadosamente las porciones de verduras para proporcionar suficiente para cada estudiante que las desee. Si hay escasez de leche, verduras o condimentos, los estudiantes pueden ir al comedor para solicitar lo que necesitan. Son bienvenidos los comentarios que tengan a bien hacer los padres. Tenemos un nuevo formulario para que los padres nos informen sobre sus inquietudes o problemas. Si elige incluir su información de contacto, el personal del almuerzo se comunicará con usted o puede completar el formulario de forma anónima. https://forms.gle/Ae6ULgLHorTKcwki6
