December 1-18 AES is collecting non-perishable items for the food bank.

Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 restrictions AES will not be having a Christmas Concert this year.

Canada Post will ensure that Santa still gets back to children who write him letters at the North Pole, but letters need to be mailed by Dec. 8.
“It’s a long way to the North Pole and back, so we are encouraging everyone to mail their letters as soon as possible in order to get a response from Santa before Christmas,” said Canada Post in an emailed statement. “Rest assured that we are working closely with Santa and his elves so that all letters sent to the North Pole will receive a reply.”

“This year, everyone can get a free flu shot. Ask a doctor, nurse or pharmacist to find out more information about where you can get your flu shot. Help keep everyone in the school healthy by getting your flu shot today!”

The coffee fundraiser was a huge success!! AES raised $2310.00 for our new kitchen. Thanks to everyone who sold and purchased coffee. The highest selling classroom was 4 AL (Mrs. Little’s class) 2nd place goes to 2TCM (Mrs. Murchison’s class) . Top sellers were Maisie Sullivan and Liam Pelkey.
