AHS Assembly : Guest Speaker David Flood
We have a wonderful PTO sponsored assembly coming up by a Top Youth Speaker named David Flood on 11/3/22. He will speak about loneliness even when you are around people, kindness, and inclusion. He will issue a challenge to our kids that no one eats alone at lunch. Please follow up with your child to encourage them to be a part of this kindness and inclusion movement at Arcadia! All students at Ingleside will also have the same presentation. CLICK HERE to watch his bio and a promotional video on YouTube. We want to thank our administration at both schools for partnering with us to make this happen!
