Hello A.E. Wright families!

It's hard to believe we are heading into the home stretch of this school year! What a ride it has been! I'm so proud (and I hope you are too) to be part of the AEW community. Our school has led the return to normalcy in LVUSD, hosting assemblies and overnight field trips safely. Having welcomed 7th graders home from Catalina, we are getting ready to send 6th graders in Astrocamp in Idyllwild and 8th graders to Yosemite. Ms. Trupp's leadership class enjoyed a fun-filled day at Disneyland's Leadership Development Workshop and AEW all-stars competed in basketball against other middle schools. Mrs. Tepper's first-time Odyssey of the Mind Team competes this weekend in its first tournament. Mr. Pracher's musicians are performing this week at AHS. It's so wonderful to have all these wonderful experiences back!

Transitions into and out of of AEW are also well underway. We welcomed prospective GATE students to a Showcase in February and incoming 6th graders will visit campus this month. 8th graders have been meeting with high school counselors and will visit their respective high schools on April 1. 8th grade families... make sure you've reviewed the culmination packet carefully, and stay tuned to your parent square emails.

Our book fair is starting March 28! We need lots of shoppers and volunteers, so please either sign up to volunteer or stop by and take a look! Thanks to Patricia Agos for heading this up! Lots of details are below.

Please join us for this month's PFC meeting on March 16 (see below for details and zoom link), and if you're interested in volunteering for next year's PFC board or committees, please get in touch by emailing AEWpfcprez@gmail.com.

Sincerely,

Erin Mayer
President, AE Wright PFC

AEW Book Fair!
When?  
March 28-April 1
Students can visit the book fair before school, after school, during lunch and during designated times with their classes.

Why?  
Profits form the book fair go to purchase new books for our library. On average our students check out over 7,000 books a year! To keep kids excited about reading, we need to keep adding new titles and authors.

How?  
Your child can pay by cash or check made out to AEW, but the easiest way is by creating a Scholastic eWallet account for your student. Do you use the Starbucks app to pay for your coffee? That’s eWallet and it works the same way for our book fair. Your student will also be able to buy books online, but they will need to use a special link. More information and details on this will come as we get closer to the book fair.

Can I help?
YES!!! We need volunteers before school, after school, during lunch and during every class period Monday-Wednesday.


Will you have prizes?
YES!! Students will have a chance to win a prize with their purchase and be entered into a raffle to win big prizes like $50 Power Cards from Dave & Busters!

Look for more details in the coming weeks on how to set up your eWallet and how to purchase books online!
Step It Up! Fundraiser Coming Soon
ARE YOU READY TO HAVE SOME FUN!?!?!? Our STEP IT UP! program starts soon, and will focus on teamwork, gratitude and taking action to help others! Our students can also win some incredible prizes including our Day of Awesomeness – a field day full of FUN inspired by the hit TV shows American Ninja Warrior and Wipeout! Information is coming your way soon. See a sneak preview here: https://vimeo.com/592448539/2ebb422a30
