Just over 100 elementary students attended our Minimum Day Art and Soccer programs during the Teacher Conference Week, November 14-18, 2016. Art classes were held at Franklin, Kingsbury and McKinley Elementary Schools and taught by local artists. Students had fun making autumn and Thanksgiving craft projects and exploring with many mediums such as water colors, oil pastels, ink and more. AAA Academy was awarded the Margaret Clark Education Endowment Fund grant which allowed us to reduce the registration fee from $50 per student to $10 for the week. Coast 2 Coast provided a very popular soccer camp at Cram where students learned soccer skills using fun and engaging games and develop character traits such as teamwork and fair play. Eight after school programs are funded by the After School Education and Safety (ASES) Grant and contracted with THINK Together. These extended learning programs are located at Franklin, Kingsbury, Lugonia, McKinley and Victoria Elementary Schools and Clement, Cope and Moore Middle Schools till 6 p.m.
