Hi Parents!
This spring, our school is participating in a fundraising program with Art to Remember that gives you the opportunity to purchase keepsake items with your child's artwork on them. Every keepsake order supports our school's visual arts program. We will use the money to purchase art supplies for our students to continue creating masterpieces!
Paper order forms will go home on Monday, March 24th. But if you want to view your child's artwork now, head to ArtToRemember.com and search for your child’s name and their artwork from this year as well as previous year's will be available. Our school's deadline for orders is April 7th!
Thanks for supporting our AES artists!

CD-2nd Grade
3rd-5th Grade
Students learned the differences between bullying, mean, and rude. They were also able to participate in an activity that talked about their feelings in different situations and how they will respond to the answers they received from each situation. For example, you asked your parent to go to a friend's house, parent told you no. How will you respond? Students really enjoyed the lesson and the activity.
