All families are invited to attend our annual APS Title 1 Informational meeting. See the photo attached for additional information.
Learning how to use sensory words to describe unknown items creates some funny faces and memorable moments in 4th grade! This creative science lesson also provided opportunities for our scholars to use senses other than vision to determine unknown objects. 😊
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!
Mrs. Oswald and Mrs. Engel’s classes were certainly provided a perfect fall day today to enjoy their time at Anderson & Girls! 🍎
The October 18-29th lunch menu is here! Thank you Ms. Grace & the food services team for all you do!
Join Alma College for Family & Community Appreciation Day, October 30. There are many events to participate in.

🚀🚀 5th graders in Mrs. Engel and Mrs. Oswald’s classrooms are putting their engineering skills to use today! They constructed paper towers to withstand “hurricane force winds.” After testing, they could reconstruct and retest. Science is so fun! 😎
