Help Our Girl Scout Troop Support Local Pets

5/10/2026 10:45 am

Our Girl Scout Troop is working toward earning their Bronze Award by collecting pet toys to donate to Dominion Hills Park. We are looking for gently used or new items such as tennis balls, chew toys, and ropes.


A donation box is located outside the cafeteria for easy drop-off. Thank you for checking around your home for items you may be able to donate and for supporting our troop’s community project!

🌟 Introducing The ATS Star! 🌟


The PTA is excited to introduce the newest member of our ATS family - the ATS Star!


The project has been multiple years in the making, and the PTA is excited to have purchased this new addition to our community. Bright, spirited, and full of heart, our shining mascot represents everything that makes our school so special - curiosity, kindness, teamwork and a love of learning. The ATS Star is here to light the way for our community.


A heartfelt thank you goes out to ATS PTA Board Members, Annie Kazi and Mabel Gabig, for their hard work and dedication to this project. We're so grateful for everything they've done to help our ATS Star shine!
