AAA Hosts Apple Visit Day
On Tuesday, we held an Apple Visit Day as part of our Distinguished Program recognition. Representatives from Apple, along with administrators and teachers from other schools visited our classrooms to learn how to incorporate technology to engage students and personalize learning. The Academy shared the strategic planning that led to the successful implementation of our 1:1 iPad Program which included multi-year infrastructure improvements, professional development, curriculum design, and classroom application. Our guests were truly impressed with knowledge and skills of our students, expertise of our teachers, and quality and extent of our resources.

 Thank you to all of our sponsors, donors, and attendees of our Blue And White celebration at the Knowlton Mansion this past Saturday night. From start to finish, the evening was a fabulous success! We are incredibly appreciative of your support for this major school fundraiser.
The event would not have been complete without the hard work and dedication of chair Anita Householder, and co-chairs Kelly Avrigian, Rose Boutilier, Corinne McDaid, and Colleen Seiberlich.
