Our entire school community, from Pathways to Seniors, celebrated the holiday season with fantastic spirit! Our Holiday Spirit Week encouraged everyone to participate in themed days, including: wearing holiday accessories, pajama day, crazy holiday sweaters, Elf Day, holiday socks day, and more. The festive music continued as students also enjoyed a wonderful performance by our Concert Band this week!

The National Honor Society (NHS) and the PTO recently hosted a special appreciation luncheon for our dedicated Facilities Staff! This event was possible thanks to the generous and incredible support and contributions from the ANS Community during our annual holiday baskets drive. 

We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who participated. Your kindness allowed us to honor our facilities staff, whose vital work keeps our school running smoothly every day. Thank you for embodying the true spirit of the ANS community!

Congratulations to Vanessa Wheelock, who became a Central American Champion at the V Central American Athletics U13-U15 Championship, bringing home 2 gold medals: Combined Speed & Hurdles: 60m and 150m sprint and Relay and breaking a national record in combined speed!

Also this week, Sebastián Arellano (4th Grade) won first place in the 2025 Motocross National Championship in two categories 50cc A and 65cc B  and Santiago Mejía (1st Grade) won second place in 50cc B category. Congratulations to both!

Our fifth-graders showcased their excellent debate skills at the "Future Debaters" event on December 10th. Students presented thoughtful arguments as they debated the pros and cons of social media in their classrooms. We saw their critical thinking and communication skills in action, and they did a fantastic job!
