We are so fortunate to have such an amazing staff at AEES. Thank you to all of our building staff for the care, dedication, and support you give our students and school community each and every day! 👏🍎

🚀 We celebrated our astronauts with the final REACH assembly of the 2025–2026 school year this week! We are so proud of all the hard work, growth, and leadership our students showed throughout the year. Way to go, Astronauts!! 🌟👏

Our 3rd Grade Astronauts turned into entrepreneurs today at the Third Grade Market! 🛍️💵 Students sold handmade goods and fun services to classmates and staff while learning all about economics, supply and demand, budgeting, and running a business. We loved seeing their creativity, confidence, and teamwork shine! ✨👏

💫 Congratulations to our AEES retirees! We had the opportunity to celebrate them at the D20 Retirement Banquet last night. These beloved staff members will be deeply missed, and we are forever grateful for their dedicated service to our Astronauts! 💙

CLOSURE: Due to the anticipated impacts of an overnight winter storm system, including sustained freezing temperatures, D20 will be fully closed tomorrow, Wednesday, May 6. Visit asd20.org/weather for more.

💫 This week we are celebrating ALL of our amazing AEES staff. Two of our annual award winners were selected to receive district recognition at the D20 Back to School rally. Congratulations to our Preschool Educator of the Year Amanda Gasco, and our Special Education Specialist of the Year Jill Bailey. We couldn’t be prouder to have you on team AEES. Go Astronauts! 🚀
