A Message From Our Head of School 
 

Dear Parents,
 
This past week was Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week. I wanted to take a moment to thank our wonderful AOA Parents Association for making it a special week for all of us.  On Monday, we were greeted early in the morning with very large delicious muffins followed by receiving an AOA Tumbler on Tuesday. On Thursday, we received a $20 gift card to Target and today we were treated to strawberry shortcake for dessert, served to us during lunch. We can't thank the AOA Parents Association enough for everything that they do to support our faculty and staff as well as the students.

 

Have a great weekend and week ahead. 

Happy Mother's Day!

Chuck Roman
