NEW: Heroes for Hygiene Drive
Are you ready to be Heroes of Hygiene? APA’s multi-campus annual donation drive will be starting soon! Every campus, every grade, and every classroom will be working together to defeat germs around the world! This year we’ll be collecting hygiene supplies for Globus Relief, an organization that redistributes donated medical, dental and hygiene items to 12,000 humanitarian projects locally and around the world. Check out their amazing work at www.globusrelief.org! The donation drive kicks off Dec. 1 and continues through Dec. 15 . We accept toothbrushes and travel-size
toothpaste, soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion and packaged combs.
Donation Guidelines: Items must be unopened and unused. Travel and sample sizes are the goal this year! We prefer that items have at least 6 months before the expiration date to accommodate worldwide shipping. Thank you!
UPDATE: We have more than DOUBLED our goal of 1,000 hygiene items and are celebrating with a FREE DRESS day on Thursday, December 17th for all students!
NEW: January Lunches
Below is the link to the proposed menu for January 2020. You will notice when you log on to order
you NO LONGER see the specific item to be ordered. Because of COVID, our menu is subject to change. Whenever possible we try to serve the specific lunch as listed on the menu, but there are occasions when your student will be presented with an alternative lunch that meets the nutritional requirements and your child's specific dietary restrictions. If your student cannot eat the lunch presented, they should go to the lunch staff who will provide an adequate meal.
We will continue to serve Regular (with meat) or Vegetarian (without meat), Gluten Free, or Dairy Free. We CANNOT guarantee the specific item will match the menu.
