Read about our Beautification Day update; learn about the IB principles and IB book of the month; mark your calendars for events like the All Pro Dads, the Scholastic Book Fair, Thanksgiving Luncheon, Popcorn Fundraiser and more!

We had several families, PAC members, and AES Foundation members show up to help out around the school. We have new plantings by the new digital marquee and weeding be the roundabout and much more. See our photo gallery. Thanks to all of those who volunteered their time, energy and supplies!

We are thrilled to announce that this year's event was nothing short of a spectacular success. The AES BREIT RUN raised over $17,000! These funds were a result of the remarkable support and dedication of an incredible community. We achieved a collective triumph in our mission with a total of 73 5K and 122 Fun Run registrants, 26 business and local sponsors, and the heartfelt contributions from numerous donors.

Join us for a morning of beautification work at AES. Sign up today to volunteer. We’re also looking for tools to borrow. Learn more about how you can help!
