This was a 2nd grader's response to learning about the AES Indiana visitors who came to the classroom to help with reading. And we agree!
AES Indiana has been a strong partner of the Marian-led REID initiative - with a multi-year gift to support literacy throughout the Near Northwest area of Indianapolis and an early learning center at The Grove!
Recently, AES Indiana employees who were trained in reading strategies by Marian University Center for Vibrant Schools helped some 2nd graders who were reading about Susan B. Anthony!📕📕
Thanks to Enlace Academy for hosting our volunteers and thank you AES Indiana for your commitment to literacy & early childhood education!

Thank you Vision Academy for hosting a family STEM night with future educators at Marian University Fred S. Klipsch Educators College!
🔭"The family STEM night is a great opportunity for our future science educators to put their content knowledge into practice. Marian students plan the event, create marketing materials, and translate all resources into Spanish to make the event accessible. The family STEM night is the highlight of the semester for me and the students in the science course!”
