DONATION IN ACTION

Have you ever wondered how your donation is making a difference by supporting our students, teachers/staff, and the school? Below is a list of programs the ASE PTA has funded thus far this school year. 

Board Games for Indoor Recess

With the unpredictable weather, it's essential to ensure our students have engaging and enjoyable options for indoor activities. Thanks to your donations, we've been able to provide a diverse selection of board games tailored to each grade level's interests and developmental stages. 

VIPS OF THE MONTH

ASE’s PTA is honored to announce Wendy Osmonov as February’s Volunteer of the Month. Wendy has been extremely busy this year pulling double duty as both the 2nd grade room parent lead and Yearbook Committee Chair. As the 2nd grade room parent lead she has helped organize both class parties and is always eager to answer any questions the 2nd grade parents ask. The yearbook has kept her busy since day 1 as she has been coordinating volunteer photographers and organizing hundreds of photos collected throughout the year. In the midst of all this, she is still finding time to volunteer with other grades. This past month she helped volunteer during the 4th grade PAWS on Science activity.  Thank you Wendy for all your hard work and dedication. 

PAWS ON SCIENCE

A huge THANK YOU to the Paws on Science volunteers!  You taught over 600 students about the properties of matter, different biomes and electric circuits! 

We still have in-class volunteer spots open for Kinder, 1st and 2nd grade, as well as need help with preparing and sorting materials.  Please click the links below to help.
