American Preparatory Academy

🏛️ APA Families & Staff — you're invited to something special TONIGHT!

Some of you may have already seen APA mentioned in a KSL article this week — and the story is incredible.

World-renowned sculptor Sabin Howard has been partnering with American Prep this past year as he developed his vision for the Grand Liberty Arch — a 60-foot bronze monument that will tell the story of America through 56 sculpted figures, permanently sited on the Utah State Capitol grounds.

Our students watched him create the model. He shared his time and his process with us. And tonight, the monument is officially inaugurated with a public unveiling ceremony.

📅 Monday, July 6
🕠 5:30 PM
📍 Utah State Capitol Rotunda, Salt Lake City

APA 5th & 6th graders who sang in Hope of America are invited to perform "I Love America" at the program. All students are welcome to join in singing the National Anthem together!

👉 5th & 6th grade singers, sign up here https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd_CqYSl8v4SUSlZhxa_x9NHqpJDqnFlR5NIvRNPLhVPboviw/viewform?usp=dialog
