From the Parent Teacher Club President

The 2018-2019 school year at AOS was an exciting one! It was a year of change, growth,and commu nity-building. We welcomed new administrators, continued to “grow into” our Lower School space, and brought back the AOS Gala, Embarking on our first ever gala-break with great success. None of this would have been possible without the dedication and devotion of our parents, faculty, and staff – thank you!

From a newly made over Back to School Breakfast (which now allows us to escape the heat of late August!) and “Diving Into a Good Book” at our annual Book Fair and Spaghetti Dinner to a pre-historic Olympics for the ages and Fine Arts Week which changed locations to beautifully showcase student art, community building was truly the theme of the year. It was amazing and inspiring – a true testament of what AOS means to so many – to see our commu nity members come together to ensure the success of these events. Finally, I would like to extend a personal thank you. I have been humbled and honored to serve as your PTC President this past year. My family has been a part of the AOS community for seven years and counting, and both of my children are “lifers.” AOS is a truly special place, and my family is blessed to be a part of this community.

Best, Janell Reniers Parent Teacher Club President

In addition, we hosted speakers (Parent Education), supported our community during both celebratory and difficult times (Care), recognized our greatest assets (Grandparents & Special Friends, Faculty & Staff Appreciation), assisted our amazing facul ty (Helping Hands, Christmas Program & Robes, Classical & Musical Countdowns, Art Angels, Room/ Team Parents), and cheered on our school (Spirit Sales, Team Sports). We also worked to take care of (Used Uniforms & Lost and Found), beautify (Visual Arts Exhibition), and better (Service) our local and broader communities.

Without the chairs and committees of the events and activities listed above, coupled with your involvement and the support of our faculty, staff, and administra tion, we would not be able to offer our students and families this amazing environment and experience. Simply, AOS would not be The School for Hearts and Minds without you.
