Thank You for Making Penny Arcade 2022 a Resounding Success

 
Penny Arcade is a Saturday night school activity (Oct. 29, 2022) in which the area seventh and eighth grade students are invited to attend. Andrews Academy students from various school organizations set up many creative booths for Academy and seventh and eighth grade students to participate in. There was also lots of food available...everything for only pennies.  

The evening began with a sundown vespers for Academy students followed by activities and food for all. 

Many participated in the famous “kissing booth” (parents, don’t worry - students wrote a note to a friend, then the students running the booth hand delivered the note as well as a chocolate kiss to the recipient). It was a fun night for all as seen by the many smiles in the photos. At the end of the evening, prizes were given to students for various activities. 

THANK YOU to the parent volunteers, the officers and volunteers of the classes, NHS, and SA for their many hours of preparation and service throughout the evening, making it a fun evening for all.

We estimated that well over 101 seventh and eighth grade guests were present. We hope each seventh and eighth grader enjoyed the evening and will plan on becoming part of the Andrews Academy family when they graduate from elementary school.

Volleyball Tournament: Tuesday, November 15, at 5:30 PM

1. We have had six weeks of the Fitness Center being open and available on Mondays from 3:30-4:30 PM. The challenge has been that no one has accepted the opportunity to work out. Please, take the time and opportunity now that it is turning cold to enjoy what is available to every student at AA by using the Fitness Center on Mondays. The link to sign up so we can prepare ahead of time is below, but it is not necessary.

2. The Women's Strength Club is still going strong, and I would really like to thank Mrs. Case for providing her expertise and experience in coaching and training the females of AA. This opportunity is still available for those that would like to join on Thursdays from 3:30-4:30 PM in the Fitness Center. Again, you can sign up on the form below, or just show up ready to receive coaching from a certified Personal Trainer.

3. The next all-school event is the AA Volleyball Tournament on Tuesday, November 15, starting at 5:30 PM. The gym will be open for teams to start practicing for the tournament on Tuesdays and Thursdays in November leading up to the event.
