Hello Parents, APS Spring Program is May 13th! The students have been working hard. There are a couple of things they will need in preparation for the program. Each 6-12th grade student is required to wear a black top and black bottoms, or a black dress. Black shoes are also requested. Please keep shoes low in height. Refrain from sending students in sweatpants, leggings, or any textile with holes present. If assistance is needed with these items, contact the front office, or Mrs. Faller. There are resources present for those who need them. Thank you, APS Music Staff
