As we enter February, a month of love, I want to express deep appreciation for our vibrant school family—students, families, and staff.
To our students: Your curiosity and dedication inspire us daily. Your journey in education is building a promising future.
To families: Your support is invaluable. Your encouragement forms a solid foundation for both academic and personal success.
To our faculty and staff: Your passion for teaching shapes our school's essence. Your commitment to a nurturing learning environment is commendable.
Let's celebrate not just academic achievements but also the bonds we've forged. Together, we can foster an environment where love and education thrive.

Parent-Teacher Conferences are February 15th from 3:30-7:00pm and February 16th from 8:00-11:30am. Our goal is to meet with 100% of our families! Please confirm an appointment time with your child's teacher ASAP! We look forward to seeing you!
Lost & Found Items
We have a lot of LOST & FOUND items! These will be on display in our cafeteria during Parent-Teacher Conferences. Please take a moment to walk through to collect your missing belongings. These items will be donated after conferences, so please make sure you take a look!
Fruitiki Bars
We sell Fruitiki bars every day after lunch. Students may purchase these for $1.00 each. Parents, if you send Fruitiki money with your child, please do not send more than $5.00. We do not have enough cash to give out change. Also, we are not responsible for lost or stolen money. Please send money in a secure envelope or bag. Thank you.
AES Art
Hi Families! Happy February!
We always love donations of egg cartons! When students work with tempera or acrylic paint, egg cartons are used as paint palettes. We throw them out after use, so we go through quite a lot of them.
This month, students are finishing Square 1 self-portraits and poppy posters. I’ll send student self-portraits off by the end of February. Look for Square1 Art packets (which will include the complimentary stickers and order information) to go home right after spring break.
Students can look forward to lots of exciting projects this spring. Fifth graders will enjoy a special workshop with Basement Films of Albuquerque in March. Fourth and fifth graders will get to work with a puppeteer in May. All students in grades K-5 will be engaging in a few printmaking projects.
As always, please reach out with questions or concerns. Please stop by the art room during conferences. We will be here after 5pm on Thursday evening, and all morning on Friday. During that time, we’d welcome your input about current and future art projects!
Be well,
Thea Storz & Rhonda Nickles

A Word from our Librarian
Hello AES students and families!
In the library we are going to start learning about the Dewey Decimal System and how it is used in our library. The goal is to have our students be self-sufficient and able to find the books they are looking for on their own.
Please continue to help your students return their library books in a timely manner and consider reading books together as a family to help nurture their love of reading at home.
Thank you!
Mrs. Q
