Honoring Our Heroes – 5th Annual Veterans’ Day Car Parade
Today, Wednesday, November 12, Acushnet Elementary School proudly celebrated our 5th Annual Veterans’ Day Car Parade—a special tradition to recognize the brave men and women who have served.
The collage below includes photos of some of the Veterans from our parade and classroom visits, as well as pictures from their time in service. Their courage, sacrifice, and dedication reminded us of the significance of Veterans Day and the impact of their service on our community.
Thank you to all of the Veterans who participated and to every Veteran in our community for your service and dedication. 💙❤️

🎉 AES kicked off our first school-wide Positive Behavior Intervention Systems (PBIS) assembly of the year with Wildcat pride and excitement! 💙
Students learned a brand-new school chant, celebrated our Perseverance Award winners, nominated by their teachers, and discovered our next character trait focus: Academic Mindset! 🧠✨
This year, our PBIS focus follows the acronym PACERS — Perseverance, Academic Mindset, Cooperation, Empathy, Responsibility, and Self-Control — guiding our Wildcats to make positive choices, show kindness, and always do their best. 🐾
We’re so proud of our students for leading with heart, effort, and determination. What an amazing way to start the month! 💙

A big thank you to PJ Keating for being such a wonderful community partner to our Acushnet students! Today’s presentation, “Rocks Build Our World,” taught our 4th grade Wildcats all about aggregates — the rocks and minerals that help build the world around us.
Students were amazed to learn that aggregates are used to create schools, roads, hospitals, and even everyday items like makeup and sunscreen! It was an engaging, hands-on learning experience that connected science to the real world in such a meaningful way.
Thank you, PJ Keating, for supporting education and inspiring future scientists, builders, and problem-solvers! 🏗️🔍

📚 Our first graders had a wonderful time at their library! Ms. White shared how the library is a place to read, explore, and imagine new adventures. Students even got to make fun choices—like whether they’d rather have a pet snake or a pet turtle! 🐢🐍 We can’t wait to see all the books they’ll discover this year. 💙
