Tomorrow Night!!!

Student's from AHS Chamber Choir returned home after a long weekend of exploring some of America's most famous historical locations (Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, 9/11 Memorial, Rockefeller Building, and the Lincoln Center), as well as experiencing the solar eclipse, watching a Broadway show from the 3rd row (!), and performing with world renowned musicians. They should be incredibly proud of how well they represented APS and the choir program.

Pine Avenue Parents, do you have a student transitioning to the middle school? You are invited to attend the transition seminar presented by Mr. Huff and Ms. Klingensmith from the DLPMS team. We will also host the 4th grade transition to the 5th, discuss the benefits of summer school, and much more. Our program begins at 5:00 p.m. and goes to 7:00 p.m. See you on Friday, April 12, 2024.

The sixth graders had an opportunity to learn a technique to safely view the solar eclipse by creating and testing pinhole projectors! Pinhole projectors allowed early scientists to view the shapes of illuminated objects, like the sun, by shining the light from the object through a tiny hole, projecting the image of the object onto the ground, wall, or other flat surfaces. We safely viewed this spectacular event during the solar eclipse by projecting it on the classroom floor, countertops, and student binders!

We love when we get to have PE class outside!!!
