7th grade students enjoy a pizza party after winning the middle school supplies war. Students were tasked with cleaning out their lockers and donating their school supplies for points. 7th grade had the most to donate, collected the most points, and earned the party!

Early Dismissal Today APS and area schools have been communicating with the National Weather Service about the severe weather that is expected for this area this afternoon.

It is with the safety of students and staff in mind that school will release early. Please stay weather aware. The Fire Department will open the Safe Room if needed, NO PETS ALLOWED.
