Winter Days Ahead

It's beginning to look a lot like winter... and it appears the snow is here to stay. For optimal snow fun, please send the Essential 5 (hat, boots, coat, gloves, snow pants) with your child each day. The Essential 5 not only keep students warm but also keep their clothes dry and clean. Students without the Essential 5 will still be allowed outside on the paved areas. We ask that parents help reduce the lost and found inventory by labeling Essential 5 items with the student's initials, homeroom teacher, and school year (Example: 22/23 NJW Woodford).

Kindness Retreat at AES

Last Friday, Youth Frontiers came to put on our annual Kindness Retreat for our 5th Graders. This retreat was an all day event and like many years before... it was a huge success!

As a nonprofit organization delivering retreats to schools since 1987, Youth Frontiers, provides schools with experiences that inspire character, civility, and community so that our next generation of leaders is grounded in character. Throughout the retreat, the focus was to create a more positive school community by engaging students in a variety of activities that builds empathy skills and teaches safe ways to help prevent unkind actions.

Many people contributed to making this retreat successful including; our 5th Grade classroom teachers, custodians, kitchen staff, student support staff, high school volunteers and so many more! We are so excited to see the impact this event will continue to have on our students and in our school!

Middle School Minutes

In honor of Veterans Day, on November 11th our middle school hosted a Veterans Day program that was open to the public. It included the National Anthem and America the Beautiful, performed by the 8th grade band, a student presentation of Military Branches, a student poem presentation, the 6th grade choir singing, Thank You Soldier, and the Monticello color guard presenting the flags. Thank you to all Veterans, for your service and your sacrifices.
