All ASFA students are invited to participate in an ASFA Community Engagement event on Saturday, May 6. The ASFA Groove Rhythm Nation Dance and Drum Workshop will be held at the Greenhouse, 602 – 19^th Street Ensley from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. This is a free community event.  

 

The ASFA Ambassador application for next school year is now available on the ASFA website under Student Life. Students currently enrolled in grades 9-11 may apply. Current Ambassadors do not need to reapply. To keep the Ambassador organization a manageable size, only 10-15 new students will be added for next year, and only the first 20 completed applications will be given consideration. The deadline to apply is 8 a.m. Friday, May 5.  Best wishes on your application!
