Students will have an opportunity to contribute to the giving tree by purchasing paper ornaments for .25 cents at lunch.  The proceeds will be used to help Aston Families this holiday season!

Happy December! Time is flying!  Teachers are working hard to keep students academically engaged during the month of December.   
 
This past week the students in grades 3 - 5 participated in a STEM presentation.  Stay tuned as we work to bring some of the robots we saw in the presentation to our technology classes!
