It has been a great few weeks for our Leopard Teams as Season One continues to go well for all those involved. Our Varsity Volleyball and Soccer teams traveled to Bucharest, Romania for the opportunity to compete in an International School Sports Tournament. Our kids were able to take part in a service learning trip to a local dog shelter, experience traditional Romanian food and dance and took in a trip to the Bucharest Thermals. While doing all of that our teams were able to fit in their respective games and the teams did excellent. With both Volleyball teams coming in 1st place and the Soccer teams coming in 2nd place. 

Upcoming Events:

October 5th: JV & Varsity Volleyball vs ASD

October 8th: JV Volleyball @ ACS, Varsity Volleyball @ ASD

October 10th: MS DISSC Volleyball vs Dunecrest @ DAA

ACTIVITIES

Our ASA program has gotten off to a fantastic start, with enthusiastic participation from your children in a variety of engaging activities. We've witnessed remarkable progress in their skills and have seen friendships blossom within the group. It's been a pleasure to watch them grow and learn together. 


We would like to take this opportunity to remind all parents to please continue checking your emails regularly. We use email communication to share important updates, activity schedules, and any changes to the program. It's crucial that you stay informed to ensure the smooth running of the program and the safety and well-being of your children. Additionally, we encourage open communication between parents and our program coordinators. If your child will not be attending an activity on a specific day due to any reason, or if they are unwell, please let us know as soon as possible. This helps us plan accordingly and ensures your child's safety while in our care.


Your involvement and cooperation are key to the success of our ASA Program. We greatly appreciate your trust in us and look forward to the continued growth and development of your children over the coming months. If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to support you and your children in any way we can.


Thank you for being a part of our program, and we can't wait to see what the rest of the school year holds for our young participants.
