Announcements:

  • Calendar Update: Please note a few important changes to the calendar due to our recent winter weather cancellations.  We will have school on March 9 and April 13.  Previously these days were scheduled to be Professional Development Days.  At this time the last day of school is scheduled for June 1.
  • Attendance has been excellent this week!  Thank you for making sure your scholars are here for every minute of our school day.
  • KCYA Scholarship: Kansas City Young Audiences offers a variety of art-based summer camps.  Did you know that KCYA offers scholarships? You can obtain a scholarship application in the front office or online.
  • Playground Update: Our playground committee is working hard to develop an outdoor play space for our scholars.  On March 15th, Pizzeria Locale (on 75th St in Waldo) is sponsoring an AFIA fundraising night from 4-9PM.  AFIA receives 50% of the proceeds on this night!  Even if your family can’t make it, please help us advertise by sharing our flyer on social media.
