Dear ASA Community,

It’s time to spread the love, pride, and appreciation—because we’re closing out the year with joy, color, and connection! 💚🐺

We’re so excited to kick off Staff Appreciation Week and shine a BIG spotlight on the heart of our school—our incredible ASA teachers and staff! They show up every day with love, dedication, and a fierce commitment to our wolves—and now it’s our turn to shower them with the appreciation they deserve! 💚

Our amazing PACK has organized a fun-filled “Sense of Gratitude Week” with daily themes inspired by the five senses—smell, taste, touch, sight, and sound. Check out the attached flyer for inspiration! 🎨👃👀👂🍬

📝 The flyer is just a guide—feel free to participate in any way that works for your family. Whether it’s one day or all five, every gesture of thanks makes a difference!
