✨ "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

🎄 Every Who down in Whoville liked dodgeball a lot... and at AES PE, we're proving our hearts aren't too small! Our students had a blast playing "The Battle of Whoville," a festive take on dodgeball that would make even the Grinch smile. Who knew physical education could grow hearts three sizes? Watching our students dodge, duck, and throw while channeling their inner Whos has been the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit! May your holidays be merry and bright! 💚❤️ #HowTheGrinchStolePE #WhovilleSpirit #AESPride #WildcatLearningTour
