Soaring Student of the Week!

Students at AES have the opportunity to earn recognition for positive behavior during the week. When staff members see great choices being made, students can receive a SOAR slip with specific praise. Every Friday, the names of every student who earned a SOAR slip are read during the morning opening. All student slips are entered into a drawing, and one student is randomly chosen to receive donuts for his or her class.

This week's Soaring Student was Maci Lutz from Mrs. Mason's 3rd grade class.

Thank you, Daylight Donuts, for partnering with us in this special recognition for our students!
