April is...
Month of the Military Child
PURPLE UP for military kids!
Wear purple to support our Military students!
Our Purple Up day is Wednesday, April 9.

🧡💥 Mark your calendars! AP Appreciation Week is coming up April 7–11, and we can’t wait to celebrate our very own superhero — Mrs. Schlegel! 💥🧡
In her usual selfless fashion, Mrs. Schlegel is asking that instead of gifts, anyone who wishes to show appreciation donate to support two of our CSPES families currently in need. 💛
Let’s honor her heart for service by giving back — just like she always does.
Donations can be dropped off at the front office anytime before or during AP Appreciation Week!

#TBT Spotlight on CTE
Ms. Ingle, a former student at the Center of Applied Technology South(CAT-South), is now the HVAC Instructor at CAT-South.
It is rewarding to have the opportunity to give back to the school that gave me so much. I never thought I would be able to be a teacher due to learning disabilities, but that only made me stronger as a teacher and as a student. I always say my brains are in my hands, but due to my learning disabilities, I can see things and explain things in a better way to help people understand. Now, as a teacher, I help other students with the same disability learn that having an IEP or 504 is just your toolbox, and your tools are there to help you succeed with the job at hand.
As a student, I competed in Skills USA and placed third in the States Competition. Now, I am also an NTHS member and a big supporter of Skills USA and what it stands for, which is why I help support this competition every year.

In this week's edition of Thursday Thoughts, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mark Bedell discusses the impact of the International Parent & Community Leadership Academy. #BelongGrowSucceed #AACPSFamily
