Insider's Look at a Star Academy Teacher

From opening day at The Academy of Indian Lake Village, Mrs. Jennifer Kothlow has been one our our amazing teachers. She is an asset to this school and the children who have had the privilege of calling her teacher. We wanted to take the time to showcase her for all our parents to see just how amazing she is.

We took this opportunity to ask Mrs. Jenn some interview questions to get to know her better.

Happy Valentine's Day

 

Happy Valentine's Day

 

We had some fun parties at our school today. Thank you to all our wonderful parents for providing some yummy treats. Valentine's Parties are so much fun. The kids anticipate the party all day and when it is finally here you can feel the excitement in the air. After we get all hyped up on sugar, we run outside to burn it off. It is not everyday that we get these special treats, so we really appreciate it. The teachers also enjoy decorating the classroom for these special days. After our party, we are all full of smiles! Thank you for sharing your special days with your friends at The Academy. We love having you all as part of our school family.

Ready Set Bolt

As you know January was Fitness Fanatics month at all Never Grow Up preschools! To encourage each child towards better health and to raise funds for Branches Ministries, each school hosted a "Tini"-Marathon! Your support for Branches provides needed funds to support your family, teachers and staff in times of need. Our Bolt run was both inside and outside of our school. Preschool classrooms and up participated. It was truly amazing. All The Academy Kids had a great time running their laps. When they were all done, they were so proud of themselves.  Check out all of our little runners.

Look at our friends go!

 

They were all smiles as they ran their laps!

 

Mr. Keri and Ms. Heather's class took off. They ran from cone to cone and kept going until they could run no more!

 

"Ahh, I think this should be the last lap... what run one more, okay!"

 

 

Ready, on your mark, get set go!

 

Look at us go!

 

"Go...All...The...Way!"

 

" We are doing it... YAY!"

 

They sure ran their little hearts out!

 

Look at Mrs. Leah and her friends go!
