Third Grade Clay Fish Art Project!
Our third grade students put their artistic talents on display as they painted clay fish inspired by their field trip to Buzzards Bay! Using watercolors, students added vibrant colors and unique details to make each fish their own.
This creative project helped students connect their field trip experiences with art while learning more about the marine life and environment of Buzzards Bay. We love seeing the creativity and individuality reflected in each student's work!

A Walk Down Memory Lane at AES!
Acushnet Elementary School was honored to welcome back a special group of former Wildcats for our annual Senior Walkthrough! Seniors from Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical High School, New Bedford High School, Fairhaven High School, Old Rochester Regional High School, and Bishop Stang returned to the halls where their educational journeys began.

We are so proud of these graduates and wish them all the best as they begin their next chapter. Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat!

STEM Learning in Action at P. J. Keating!
Our 4th grade students had an incredible opportunity to visit P.J. Keating's rock quarry and experience real-world STEM learning firsthand!
Students participated in hands-on activities, including cookie mining, which taught them about the mining process while practicing problem-solving and engineering skills. They also toured the quarry and got an up-close look at the equipment used in the industry.
One of the highlights of the day was receiving their very own hard hats and exploring the quarry as young scientists and engineers!
A huge thank you to P. J. Keating for being such a wonderful community partner and for providing our students with an engaging and memorable learning experience.

🌱🌞 Growing and Learning in Preschool! 🌞🌱
Our preschoolers in Ms. Carvalho’s class have been learning all about what plants need to grow and stay alive—and they put their knowledge into action!
Students participated in a fun, hands-on activity where they planted grass seeds in soil, watered them, and placed them by a sunny window to help them grow. The excitement was contagious as students explored what it takes to care for living things!
The best part? Once the grass grows, students will get to give it a “haircut”! ✂️🌿
We love seeing our youngest learners engage, explore, and have so much fun while learning!
