Acushnet Elementary School

Our Wildcats showed their school spirit in style during Read Across America Week with "Wildcats in Hats and Wacky Socks Day!" Inspired by beloved Dr. Seuss classics, students arrived sporting creative headwear from colorful Cat in the Hat stripes to chef's hats, cowboy hats, and even some silly animal designs! Their wacky sock selections were just as impressive, bringing extra fun to our celebration of reading. Thank you to all our families for helping make this day so memorable for our young readers! #WildcatPride #AcushnetSchools #AES #BetterTogether #YouMatter #WildcatLearningTour #TwoSchoolsONEDistrict

📚 We were delighted to welcome Miss Apple Peach 2024, Madison Cabucio., back to AES! A former Acushnet Wildcat herself and current FHS junior, Madison visited our first-grade classrooms to share a special story. With the book Giraffe's Can't Dance, she delivered a wonderful message about embracing our differences and building self-confidence. Having one of our alumni return to inspire the next generation of Wildcats was especially meaningful! Thank you, Madison, for taking the time to visit and share such an important message with our students! 🦒✨ #AcushnetPride #MissApplePeach #WildcatPride #WildcatLearningTour

✨ "I have a dream that one day... little children will join hands as sisters and brothers." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Our preschoolers brought this dream to life, one colorful friendship bracelet at a time! Last week, they created these beautiful bracelets together, learning about friendship, sharing, and Dr. King's powerful message of unity and love. 🌈 It's amazing to see how even our youngest learners can understand and demonstrate the values of kindness, acceptance, and working together. #MLKDay #AES #BetterTogether #YouMatter #WildcatLearningTour

"Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." A profound message worn by one of our youngest learners today. Dr. King's wisdom shines through at AES, where we're growing hearts and minds. ❤️ #MLKJr #TeachLove #APS Pride

❄️ The snowball effect of kindness was real at AES! Our incredible fourth-grade ambassadors collected "snowballs of kindness" throughout the school, and our Wildcats dressed as snowmen to celebrate. From top hats to scarves, and carrot noses to buttons, our students and staff really got into the spirit! It's heartwarming (but doesn't melt our snow!) to see how one kind act leads to another. #SnowMuchFun #AESPride #WildcatLearningTour

🌟 While one famous friendship bracelet tour may be wrapping up, the spirit of connection is alive and well at AES! Last month, our elementary students joined forces with their middle school friends for a special bracelet-making session as part of our Wildcat Era: The Learning Tour. The best kind of learning truly happens when we work together. Thanks to our middle school partners for helping make this activity unforgettable. At AES, every day is an opportunity to create new friendships! 💝 #WildcatPride #BetterTogether #StudentCollaboration #AESfamily

Engineering meets imagination! Our 4th graders from Ms. Cournoyer's class teamed up with Ms. Cole's 1st graders to design creative contraptions to catch that sneaky gingerbread man. Watch out - these young inventors mean business! 🍪 #BuddyClass #STEAMlearning #APSPride

Sweetness overload at AES! ✨ From gingerbread walls to frosting smiles, these December moments with our little builders and their families were pure magic. Those tiny hands creating masterpieces (and maybe sneaking a candy or two 😉) filled our preschool classrooms with giggles and joy.. 🏠 #PreschoolLife #SweetMemories #AESPride
