Midtown Cluster Friendship Festival

 

Congratulations, SPARK 5th Graders! We're SO Proud of You!

Friday, May 23, 2025 was a blast. Here are two versions of our Awards Day Songs!

Each student (or partnership) helped create a Canva presentation for the lyrics for Growing Up by The Linda Lindas

And here is the live action video, featuring our house band, singers and dancers!

Front view, thanks to Rachel Kyzer

I am really going to miss this group of 5th graders. They are bright, kind, inclusive, and hilarious.

 

Whirlwind to the end!

These photos and videos are in reverse order:

Senior walk, 5th grade awards, K awards, Chorus/AC Concert, the Carnival day, Howard Chorus concert, Field Day, Howard Playmakers' Macbeth performance, APS Awards, Inman Park Festival Parade. 

It has been a busy, joyful, beautiful year!  

These @APSMidtown seniors came to @APS_SPARK where most of them started as kindergartners! Seeing them sing the school song had everyone 😭😭😭! @thebetsybockman @MusicAtSPARK pic.twitter.com/NBwtJmlb9D
