All through this year, we have been conducting all-school community meetings via zoom. Today, we assembled together in the gym for the first all-school community meeting in person. Mr. Morris' class drummed us in and out of assembly. Some representatives from 4th grade shared about the upcoming Animal Symposium next week. Mrs. Storro presented a token of appreciation to Ken and Linda Bundy for fixing our school's drums. Mrs. Cullinan brought over her 7th graders to teach the school how to sign and sing Happy Birthday. Finally, some students were recognized for showing Eagle values. If families would like to join us for the remaining community meetings, you are invited to attend. They are planned for May 6th, May 27th, and June 10th from 8:50 - 9:15am in the AES gym. Go Antrim Eagles!

Greetings AES community.

I want you to save the date of April 20th (rain date April 21st) for a special whole school event preschool through grade 4. This afternoon/evening event is being funded by Title 1. The 3rd and 4th graders at AES have been working very hard on creating this fun and engaging event. They will showcase their bird and mammal research and the Harris center will conduct a family exploration of owls. More information can be found on the flyer below, and the RSVP form is attached to this newsletter. This event begins at 4:30 pm, and because it is partly an outdoor event, we will have a rain date for the following day.

Title 1 Meeting

Prior to the animal symposium event, I am inviting all interested parents to join me in the library from 4-4:30 to review our school goals and programming for next year in our Schoolwide Plan (attached to this newsletter). Your input is so important to us, and we want you to be more involved. This is a perfect way to learn about all that we do here at AES, and we welcome your ideas to making it even better!

Please RSVP by sending an email to sedwards@conval.edu.

Opportunity to provide input

Would you like to take a leadership role at AES? I am looking for a parent and community member to be on our AES Leadership Team. This team will meet 2 to 3 times a year, and the primary function would be to collaborate with the school's leadership team about school improvement efforts in all areas and how to spend our Title 1 funding. If you are interested, please contact me at ssyre-hager@conval.edu. Again, we value your partnership and we welcome your involvement with important decisions for the school.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Stephanie
