In January 2010, we kicked off a recycling program at Success Preparatory Academy. Special thanks to the Green Building Council and the Salvation Army for funding our first year of recycling and providing the recycling bins to get us started. SPA is committed to continuing the program every year. Mr. Spencer, Art Teacher, is our recycling coordinator.

On Friday, November 13, 2009 our students, staff, and families enthusiastically cheered on the Hornets at the New Orleans Arena. The evening was filled with pizza, cheering, chanting and dancing.

SPA students visited Dillard University to see a special tribute to Mama Africa Miriam Makeba on Thursday, October 29, 2009. Our students were so poised and well-behaved that the speaker gave them a shout out!

SPA Students at Puccini’s Tosca

On October 7, thirty-two Success Preparatory Academy students attended the New Orleans Opera’s preview performance of Puccini’s Tosca. Many students loved the dramatic plot while others admitted the beautiful music almost brought them to tears. One student proclaimed he was the first person in his family to attend the opera. In addition to the opera impacting our students, Success Preparatory Academy students made quite an impression within the community. Audience members stopped teachers to compliment the “orderly” students for their outstanding behavior during the opera and intermission!
