For @A2Lakewood teacher Hookki Chance, helping her younger sisters with homework sparked a calling that’s now spanned 28 years with AAPS. Her approach is simple: Build trust, stay consistent, and lead with care.

A piece of @A2BachSchool history is gone—but not forgotten. After an EF-1 tornado swept through A2 last week, a beloved maple tree fell, destroying “Todd the Turtle,” a playground favorite. Clean-up across the district was swift, as was a tribute to Todd. https://t.co/cNnhpyedf0
