”TAS OUTDOOR” Outdoor Classrooms $2000 Grant from Whole Kids Foundation
Whole Foods has graciously chosen The Anthony School for a garden grant! Denise Albert, ParentCrew Board Donations Chair, wrote and applied for the grant in February. After a long process of waiting, the good news came just before spring break. The Whole Kids Foundation $2000 grant will be applied to providing outdoor garden enrichment for every child at TAS (PreK3-8th grade!). This grant supports outdoor edible gardens that help children understand how food is grown, what resources it takes to grow foods, and how garden cultivated fruits and vegetables can taste so good! The mission of the Whole Kids Foundation is to inspire change in kids’ eating habits. Please check out the Whole Kids Foundation website for more information: www.wholekidsfoundation.org.
Special thanks to Denise Albert for her dedication and hard work in
making this a reality for the children and families of The Anthony School! Check out some summer garden camps (and other great camps)
being offered through Anthony Adventures here: http://www.anthonyschool.org/AnthonyAdventures-TASSummerProgram.aspx.

SOCCER We had a successful soccer season this year.
Our final record was 6-2-2. The team’s greatest moments were beating ECS away in the first leg and beating Hot Springs two times in penalty shootouts. We are very proud of our players and will miss the 16 graduating 8th graders next season. The future is bright for the Anthony Panthers soccer team. --Ashton Winkelmeyer, PE Teacher/Coach
GOLF The Anthony School students have begun to get to the links! The spring season has opened the golf
courses and golfers are beginning to track to the courses. This year we have four students participating in golf representing The Anthony School - Garrett Fraiser, Isabel Chaidez, Matthew Lamb, and Olivia Bulloch.
All classes, practices, and matches are held at The First Tee. After school from 4:00-5:00 on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday students from the Little Rock area meet to participate. The season began on March 27th and will end Thursday, May 10th.
It is great for our young students to learn and compete in this league. It’s tee time for a little golf, and we hope the weather cooperates throughout the spring season.
