Book Fair

Thanks to everyone who stopped in and supported our PTA’s Spring Book Fair!  We will be sorting the numbers and report the funds raised at the March 3rd PTA meeting.  Thanks for helping to make our fair Groovy!

Under the Dome

Hopefully all of your classes enjoyed being “under the dome” yesterday watching a great video.  Leave a comment and let me know your thoughts on it.

Arno Fun Fair

What a grand time we had last week at the annual fun fair to benefit the Arno Scholarship Fund.   From all the delicious treats at the cake walk, the dime toss, games, prizes, baskets and a great hot dog, there were many smiling faces throughout the day.  Thanks to all of the staff that participated!

 

Breakfast/Lunch Program

This post went into the parent blog.  The district is seeing a decrease in the number of meals ordered across the board.  Please make sure you remind kids daily that it’s available and even send out the flyer in your blogs or texts.  Thanks

Here at APPS, we take our meal service seriously by providing the best quality food that lines up with federal nutritional guidelines.  If you have never given our breakfast or lunch program a try, it’s always a good time to start.  Breakfast starts around 8:10 in the morning (You can drop off early and get the kids in a warm place) and of course we have our hot lunch and salad bar available every lunch time.  Please see the flyer for more information- did I mention that every Friday a.m. breakfast time also includes some fun dancing?
