Field day is scheduled for Monday, May 19th. All AE students will participate in numerous games, activities, and events. The following is a list of reminders to make field day a positive experience for all.

1. All students MUST wear sneakers with tied shoelaces/Velcro.
   

2. Field Day is a perfect time to wear our school colors of Red and White.

3. Hats, sunglasses, and water bottles are allowed, but students are responsible for their items.

4. Students should provide their own water bottle. Water is for drinking only. Students may not pour water over their heads.

5. Applying sunblock at home is recommended, or you may send it with your child, labeled with their name, to be applied in the nurse’s office.

6. Teachers, staff, and high school students are supervising the games. Parents are welcome to be spectators of the activities. Please report to the kiosk in the school office to sign in and receive a Visitor Badge.

7. Lunch Menu: Bagged lunches will be offered on field day to accommodate time restrictions.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with Mr. Brophy via email at mbrophy@acschools.org or by calling the school.

Mr. Hitz will be working with a group of sixth-grade students to create a slideshow representing their elementary career for the recognition celebration in June. If you have pictures of your child and their classmates at district events, please share them with Mr. Hitz using the following email address: grade6grad@acschools.org. Pictures can be from any year, kindergarten through sixth grade. Thank you in advance for your help!!

The AYL field hockey is for girls in 1st- 6th grade. Practice is held two times a week, Mondays and Wednesdays, and games are on Sunday mornings at Lower Dauphin Middle School. Participants will need a mouth guard, shin guards, and a stick to play. The registration fee will cover the games and a T-shirt. We also have had kindergarteners join AYL; they would be eligible to participate in practices, but not in the games.

Eli Armstrong, Ethan Long, and Danny Wentling participated in the K'NEX STEM Design Challenge at the Farm Show Complex. They competed against many other teams representing their schools and intermediate units from across the state. We are so proud of their efforts!

The Envirothon team represented AE at the annual County Envirothon Competition. Despite the rain and unpleasant weather, they worked hard as a team and earned ribbons for placing in many events.

Mrs. Wilson led fourth graders in Mrs. Uhrich's class through lessons on the rock cycle. One lesson included students transforming Starburst candy into rocks. What an excellent hands-on way to learn about different types of rocks!

Elementary families, friends, and community members enjoyed an evening of the arts! The night started with access to the elementary art show, which displayed various art projects from all grade levels. We finished with the elementary band and chorus concert, highlighting our students' musical talents!

AE had a number of students participate in IU13's Math 24 Challenge! We had two table winners and one student make it to the semi-finals. Way to go!
