Message from ASA
Dear ASA Families,

What a Week! πŸŽ‰

We had such a blast at last week’s Color Runβ€”the students had so much fun getting messy, running wild, and laughing with their friends! Thank you to our incredible Booster Team, dedicated staff, supportive parents, and all the amazing volunteers who helped make this event a colorful success. We also would like to thank everyone that donated, we raised $35,000!!!! We couldn’t have done it without you!

A special shoutout to our talented 5th graders, who brought history to life with their American Revolution play. Their energy, creativity, and hard work truly shined on stageβ€”bravo!

And a huge thanks to the PACK for organizing the super fun Daughter & Son Date Nights at Dave & Buster’s! These special evenings created unforgettable memories for families and were such a hit with our students.

Thank you all for continuing to make our school such a vibrant and connected community!

*As a reminder the final session of ELOP is coming to an end soon- this includes all sports, clubs and tutoring. We have clubs ending 4/15-4/17, please review the end dates in our ELOP section. Thank you to everyone who helped with ELOP, we appreciate your involvement and hope to see you next year!

Warm regards,
ASA Chino
