SPARK some interest in your summer!

A message from Advanced Academics:  

Dear Parents,
 
We are excited about the sessions being offered at this year’s SPARK Camp held June 20-23, 2016!   Please find attached the brochure outlining the dates, fees, registration process, and session descriptions.  The information is currently present on our AIG/Advanced Placement webpage; however, you will find that the link to register is not visible.  On February 8th at 8:00 a.m., the link will be activated and visible for registration to begin.
 
Please note that your child will need to select a morning and afternoon session.  It is always our goal to honor a child’s first request, but with sessions filling quickly, it will be necessary for you to have alternate sessions in mind.
 
As always, we appreciate your support of Advanced Academics!
