Our newest 5th and 6th graders got a glimpse of life at ASA through Lower School Summer Bridge—making new friends, exploring campus, and learning alongside Ms. Madrid, Ms. Valiente, and Ms. Kurbat. The program concluded with a Sharecase Performance where students shared what they learned with their families and celebrated the start of their ASA journey.
We can't wait to welcome these future Pigeons back in August! 🐦❤️💙

🦅🌱 As part of earning the Eagle Scout rank, the highest achievement in Scouting America, Class of 2026 ASA graduate Colin W. led a project to revitalize the ASA garden.
After seeing the garden space every day for years, Colin wanted to create a place that students and staff could enjoy again. He planned the project, raised more than $1,700 in donations, gathered community support, and led volunteers to rebuild the garden beds and restore irrigation.
The project was completed in April, and Colin officially earned the rank of Eagle Scout in May.
We are proud of Colin's leadership, hard work, and thankful for this lasting gift to the ASA community. Congratulations, Colin! 🎓

Our 5th grade Theatre 1 students brought The Jungle Book to life! After reading the play version of The Jungle Book, each student chose an animal character to create a mask for and spent time outside on campus using paper mâché to build and paint their own unique creations.
We love seeing their creativity shine! ✨
