When the idea of a service learning project was presented to each of the GATE classes, students actually CHEERED! They were so excited! Two students asked if they could join the planning committee. These three students, Ty, Emilie, and Sam, took their idea to Mrs. Sheets who quickly approved the idea! These students also met with Dr. Ayer, Mrs. Bishop, and Mr. Tidmore to seek their approval. At the end of that meeting, they asked the students to present their idea to the school board members. The vote was a unanimous, "YES!"
On Friday, February 24th, AES will host a Family Movie Night. Tickets are being sold now through THIS FRIDAY for $2 each. There will be a huge, inflatable screen on the stage in the lunchroom. We encourage families to bring chairs, blankets, etc. to come watch Dolphin Tale with other AES families and friends. The doors will open at 5:30 and the movie starts at 6:00. There will be pizza, candy, popcorn, drinks, and dolphin necklaces for sale.
All the money raised at AES Family Movie Night will go directly to Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Florida to "Adopt a Dolphin!" Please make plans to bring your family for a night of fun and to make a difference! If you are interested in volunteering for an hour that night, please contact Mrs. Adams.
