AEHS WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
January 29, 2023
Tomorrow, January 30, is the first day of the second semester. This means we are officially at the second half of the school year. I want to take this time to remind you that the grades students earned during MP1 & 2 do not impact the grades students earn in MP3 & 4. Tomorrow is a fresh start for all students, and we want to ensure that everyone takes advantage of the opportunity to make improve their grades this semester, or to continue to do as well as they did last semester.
If you have not yet registered to participate in the career fair, it is not too late to do so. You can register using this link. More information is shared below. If you are not able to attend, please encourage a friend to do so. It's going to be an amazing event.
Have a great week!

Career Day (REPEAT)
AEHS has partnered with our PTSA to host a school-wide Career Day on Friday, March 3, 2023. This is a scheduled early release day.
On this day, we would like to have one career day speaker in every class, every period. We need your help to make that happen! Please see THIS flyer and share with friends, families, and associates you may know in any industry. Speakers do not have to be a degreed professional. We are looking for professionals who are in the military and trades as well.The flyer includes a QR code and link to THIS survey, which is being used to collect presenters information. We are also hopeful to forge partnerships with these business people so we can send students to them for future internship, school, and employment opportunities.
This is a first of it's kind at Albert Einstein High School. We are beyond excited for this event, and need your support!

COVID Reporting (REPEAT)

AEHS Local Project Prom (REPEAT)
Einstein is also collecting donations in hopes of running our own "Project Prom" of sorts in early April! The purpose is to collect gently used prom attire for students, to reduce the cost associated with proms.
Teens within our Einstein community who are in need of formal wear will have the opportunity on a Saturday in early April to come and select what they need at no cost to them! The media center will be accepting the following donations until March 17th:
- Gently worn or new dresses (sizes 0-26) (prom, bridesmaids, cocktail and after five)
Gently worn or new shoes (sizes 0-12) (strappy sandals, pumps, mid to high heels, men's dress shoes)
Gently worn tan pants, dress pants (any size for all genders)
Ties, purses, bow ties, any accessories!
Thank you for your time and contributions we are hoping the combined effort enables young adults who participate in Project Prom not only to look their best, but feel their best on this special occasion!!

Once Upon a Prom (REPEAT)
Once Upon A Prom (OUAP) is a BCC club dedicated to providing free prom dresses to any girls whose economic or personal circumstances create hardships in their lives. All dresses are new or very gently worn. We have over 2,000 dresses in our collection, in all sizes and styles. Our doors are open to everyone. No student ID is required for entry.
Our mission is to ensure that prom is an inclusive event for all juniors and seniors. According to recent statistics, teens spend an average of $600-$800 on proms. The cost makes prom prohibitive for some teens. We want to ensure that this dream comes true for all students.
