Grades 1-4 Soccer League Opportunity


Hello Anchorage Soccer enthusiast!


A great opportunity for our 1st through 4th graders has been made available to us this coming fall. If you are interested in putting together a team for your student and their Anchorage peers in grades 1-4th grade please contact Andrew Terry.


KCD is offering a developmental soccer league for young soccer players in a low-pressure high learning environment. This would be a community-sponsored team that could allow for our younger soccer players to play with each other in a developmental league allowing them to grow in their love and passion for the game. 

 

This league offers:

 

  • Several games on Saturday mornings from 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. 
  • 20 min halves and 9v9 (8 field players 1 goalie)
  • The potential of a home match here at Anchorage


Again, if you are interested in coaching a team

please contact Andrew Terry for more information.

Student Activities

Survey Results


All after-school activities, whether they are sports or academic in nature, play a beneficial and highly-valued role

in our young Anchors' lives.


As we did for the parents in the 2021-2022 school year, the Student Activites Committee survyed the K-7 students at school in April about their experiences and opinions regarding after-school programs.


The results of this survey are listed below and also posted on the school's website:


K-2 Survey Results

3-5 Survey Results

6-7 Survey Results


All opinions are valued and appreciated by the Student Activities Committee, and the student, as well as parent feedback will influence the work we do to improve

after-school activities at APS!



Pull Tab Collection Update


Thank you to all who collected and turned in pull tabs this year. In all, we collected almost 16 pounds. They will be taken to Ronald McDonald House Charities where they will be recycled for cash to help families in need while their children are in the hospital. 


Please keep saving and let’s see if we can increase the amount collected next year!
