We hope that you’ve enjoyed your weekend.  Monday, April 20th, 2026, is Day 1 on your school’s Instructional Schedule.

It is National Volunteer Week and we extend heartfelt gratitude to everyone who volunteers as a calling and especially those who work to make your school a special place for children.  In particular, we want to acknowledge our School Council and our Breakfast Program volunteers for their commitment and dedication.  Let’s all say thank you to volunteers who make our world a little better each day - Muchas gracias!  Merci!  Thank  you!

Mr. Andrew Tomec, a substitute teacher with us, is starting a Tech Club that will run on Wednesday afternoons between 2:30 and 4:00 PM out of Room 204 here at AHE.  Membership is free and open to a maximum of 20 students in Grades 4, 5 and 6. This is a unique opportunity for students to learn about technology and begin creating with coding and AI.

If you are interested in having your child participate in this afterschool program, please complete the AHE Tech Club Registration Form and agree to the Terms and Conditions.

We are happy to take volunteers for our Tech Club in the form of high school students who are interested in technology and who need to earn volunteer hours.  If you know of someone who could be interested, please have them reach out to us.
