Weekly eNews: October 4, 2018
Dear FIRSTNAME,
Congratulations to the volleyball team and AHN/JHS swimming & diving team for their successful Spike & Splash event. The volleyball team defeated Tampa Catholic in a thrilling five-set match and the excitement and support from students, faculty, and parents was palpable.
Through bake sales, T-shirt sales, raffles and entry fees, the evening raised over $14,000 for both breast cancer and pediatric cancer research, bringing the 12-year total to more than $84,000 for cancer research. This is a true testament to the Academy community and our students' desire to support others. Please take a moment to watch a highlight video, below.
Sincerely,
Art Raimo
President

Middle School Team Building
Each year, the high school TLC (Teen Leadership Council) sets aside days to visit the middle school girls, leading them in group discussions and activities. This small group time helps the students get to know their older classmates and each other better, while providing a safe space to ask questions about high school and other topics. While TLC was visiting, the 6th-8th grade boys participated in group team building activities which required them to work together as teams to solve different tasks.
