AES Fun Run 2013

On Monday, April 22nd, AES held our Relay for Life Fun Run in honor of former AES GATE student, Mahala Lowery, and also in honor of 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Estes.  It was a beautiful ( chilly ) day!  Mahala, her mother, and grandmother rode in the police car that led our teachers and students as they began our all day walk for the American Cancer Society.  Mahala was first to release her balloons to celebrate being home from St. Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis.  Mahala spent 6 months battling leukemia at St. Jude.  We are so thankful that she is home and doing well!  She rode in the police car with another of my former students, Officer Jay Lacy.  He was in my 4th grade class in 1997-98 and is now on the police force of the city of Albertville.  Teachers also released balloons in honor of Mrs. Estes.  She is a wonderful teacher and is loved by everyone at AES!
