Special Events
The Achievement Academy has special events for our students and families.
Family Fun Nights
Children and parents enjoy evenings of fun through activities that bring all of our families together.
Carnival
Every year, the Achievement Academy parents' group sponsors a Carnival for current and former students . Through the generosity of donations from the community, the event gives our special needs children the opportunity to experience a "day at the carnival" with games, animals, food, fun, and prizes. This year the carnival will be held on Saturday, May 3rd from 10:00-2:00 at the Tigertown Hanger #2.
Graduation
Since 1997 with the opening of the Achievement Academy Charter School, we have held a yearly graduation ceremony for each child that leaves the Academy. With each of our graduates dressed in their blue caps and gowns, we bid a bittersweet good-bye as they will always have a special place in our hearts.
