💛💙 AES Kindergarten Pajama Drive Tradition! 💙💛
Our Kindergarten team wrapped up their annual pajama drive—a beloved AES tradition that pairs with Scholastic Books, who donates a brand-new book for every pair of pajamas collected! 📚✨
To celebrate the success of the drive, our Kindergarteners enjoyed a cozy Pajama Day with their amazing 5th-grade reading buddies, along with special guest readers from across our community. It was wonderful to see students sharing stories together and building connections through the joy of reading! 🧸💤
All donated pajamas and books will be delivered to a local organization that helps distribute them to children in need. Thank you to our families for your generosity and for helping us spread warmth and kindness this season. 💛
📸 Here are some heartwarming pictures of our Kindergarteners reading with their 5th-grade buddies!

💙💛 AES November Assembly Highlights! 💛💙
At our most recent whole-school assembly, our Wildcats learned all about November’s PBIS character trait: Cooperation! Students who were nominated by their teachers for showing outstanding cooperation were celebrated on stage and received a special gift for their efforts. We are so proud of them! 👏✨
To make the day even more exciting, the entire school enjoyed the principals’ Fun Run surprise for surpassing our fundraising goal of $30,000! 🎉 Mrs. Chesney and Ms. Pasetto led everyone in a school-wide dance to the Cupid Shuffle—and our Wildcats did not disappoint! The cafeteria was full of singing, dancing, and smiles from wall to wall.
What an incredible moment of community, joy, and school spirit! 💙💛

🎃👃👂👀✋ Pre-K is exploring the 5 senses — hands on!
Our Pre-K students used a pumpkin to learn about how we see, hear, touch, smell, and even talk about what we might taste. Hands-on learning makes science come alive — and these curious Wildcats loved every minute of it! 💙

📞✨ Good News Calls Home! ✨📞
At AES, we love celebrating the good stuff! When students are nominated by their teachers for showing great character — kindness, effort, teamwork, perseverance, or doing the right thing — they are invited to the office for a Good News Call Home.
Students receive a certificate, take a special photo, and then we call their families to share the happy news. Nothing beats making a positive phone call home! 💙🐾
Congratulations to our latest Good News Call Home recipients — keep shining bright!
