We love our sweets and treats… and the amazing people who bring them! @AQAlumni @AQPrincipal Our middle school faculty knows the way to our hearts (and our stomachs 📷). Just another reason our people make AQ so special.

Last Friday, our 6th graders took over Wegmans Stadium right before the weekend for the annual Pumpkin Drop! The weather was supreme, the pumpkins may have taken a tumble, but our Li’l Irish got to enjoy some fun outside the classroom – all while learning of course @AQPrincipal
