Soaring to the Finish Line

We're less than a month from summer, but we aren't slowing down one bit! Just in the last few weeks, our students worked hard showing what they know in their CMAS tests, raised great funds for cystic fibrosis research, cheered on friends in the talent show, were inducted into the prestigious National Junior Honor Society, competed in the National History Day State Contest, and flew across the country for our 8th Grade Washington D.C. trip. The group of athletes pictured above just completed their Track & Field season, representing Aspen Ridge and making us proud in their intramural meets. Our students are soaring, and we're all excited for the end-of-year traditions that are right around the corner, from Mother's Day Kindergarten Tea to Field Day to Graduations, and more!

We have lots to share in this May newsletter. Thank you for taking the time to read through and stay up to date on all that's happening at ARPS!

The school year wouldn't be complete without our annual Field Day festivities! Our Aspen Ridge students look forward to Field Day all year long (just as we did when we were kids). It's a day of cooperation, collaboration, and fun for all!

These dedicated runners have been at school bright and early most mornings throughout the year - in all kinds of weather - as they chase down their goal of running 100 miles! Go, Owls!

These first grade explorers had some sharp-toothed photo bombers during their trip to the Downtown Aquarium.
