We're Thankful for our ATS All Star Teachers & Staff!

blue ribbon award with Niche written on it

Last month, ATS was once again rated the #1 Public Elementary School in the state of Virginia by Niche.com! As we all know, this is a testament to our amazing teachers, staff, and school leadership who work hard every day to ensure our children succeed. The PTA will be celebrating this achievement with lunch and treats for staff on Monday, November 24th.

 

In addition to lunch, we'd like to "chalk the walk" with congratulatory messages from students to our staff.

 

Please come to ATS on Sunday, November 23rd between 3-4pm to chalk messages outside the front door and walkways. We know this will be a fun surprise for staff to see on Monday morning. The PTA will provide the chalk!
