December is almost here! With Christmas right around the corner we wanted to let you know that our Christmas Store will be on Dec 13th and 14th for the students. Nothing is over $2!!! We will be sending home flyers next week so be thinking about those people you want your child to shop for!

This has been such a fun week for American Education! Lots of food, laughs, and appreciation. Just a couple pictures of our glow party, food for staff, and gifts for the students.

Our long awaited Glow Party will take place on November 14th! All prizes will be given out that day also. Thank you for supporting our AES school, teachers, staff, and students! We could not do any of the things we do without you! Money raised from this fundraiser went straight back into the classrooms. Teachers got to spend the money how they saw fit to benefit the students in their class.
