What's Been Happening at APS this Past Week?

APS hosted a Storytelling Camp. What a joyful, imaginative, and creativity-packed time students had at Storytelling Camp. The APS student participants brought stories to life in the most magical ways, from colorful chickens and floating penguins to smiley-faced dangling plants and spoon puppets with their own handmade stages.

Many campers invented characters, built worlds, and even crafted their very own books. Together, they collaborated on larger-than-life big books and cheered one another on during performances! 

Students got inspired by a published author, who generously gifted many campers with an autographed copy of her book, and by two amazing storytellers who helped spark even more creativity and confidence in our young authors. Many students left camp dreaming of becoming published authors or professional storytellers someday, and we believe they absolutely can! 

Several APS students participated in Lego Camp. Check out a few photos provided by APS highlighting the exciting activities the young engineers who took part in during Lego Camp last week. From building race cars to coding robots, students had an amazing time exploring STEM through hands-on learning. Our 6th- to 12th-grade campers even engineered Spike Prime robots and learned to program them to complete tasks on the FIRST LEGO League Challenge mission board.

And finally last month,  the APS Discovery Campers traveled back to the Jurassic Era.

Campers got hands-on by creating fossils out of clay, building volcanoes, and even spotting a few dinosaurs, thanks to some of our amazing teachers.

It was a roar-some day full of creativity, science, and lots of fun.
