Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NLT)

"A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. THREE are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken."

Uplifting School News

We have some great news to share regarding our school. First, construction for a brand new school has been approved and is now underway! We couldn't be more thrilled since it is very close to the existing location which means a 2-3 minute drive to school from our home. The parents and faculty are ecstatic about this since it has been over a year in the making and there is now light at the end of the tunnel. It sounds like the building will be ready for our 2012-2013 school year in September. WooHoo!

In addition to our new digs, Aspen Academy has been nominated as 1 of only 8 schools in MN (out of thousands of schools) as a "Blue Ribbon School". This is an extremely high honor and acknowledges our academic excellence at every grade level. There is an application process that Aspen will participate in with this nomination, and if selected, we will move on as a national nominee in Washington D.C. We are so proud of our school board, our staff, our children and all the parents in our small community for helping make our school the excellent school it is. Go Aspen!!
