One Last Owl Blog Post for 2024!

Dear AmPark Families,

​We had such a wonderful time on Friday for our first school-wide field trip to see The Nutcracker at Lehman College.  Our AmPark Owls rose to the occasion of a day at the ballet as a respectful and attentive audience and it was a truly magical performance.  Thank you so much to the many families who joined us as chaperones and to the AmPark PA for helping to make this possible for all of AmPark.  It was a gift and an unforgettable experience.  

We invite all families to come in throughout the week this week during our Festival of Lights Holiday Sings!  Please come and join in the joy of a multicultural holiday sing along with Josh and our Owls on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday!  See the flyer below for more details. 

Friday will be the last day of school for 2024 (it's also Ugly Sweater Day for Fun Friday!). School will resume on Thursday, January 2nd, 2025.  In the meantime, we wish all of you and our community a happy and healthy holiday break, and the happiest of New Years ahead.   We love you AmPark!
