The high school drama class has been hard at work this year preparing for their first production, Alice in Wonderland. It will be performed in the High School Auditorium on Friday 11/5 @7 P.M.; Saturday 11/6 @ 7 P.M.; and Sunday 11/7 @ 2 P.M.

This week's APS Staff Spotlight is on 5th grade teacher, Mr. Mark Kemler! Mr. Kemler has been with APS for 10 years and also serves as our "go-to" building technology support guru. The best part of his job is definitely being able to provide students the opportunity and space to be creative. When thinking of the best quote or piece of advice he's been given, it's "Do something fun with your students each day." Outside of school, Mr. Kemler enjoys horse riding and training. Thank you, Mr. Kemler, for all you do at Pine Avenue!
