PTA-Funded Programs
We are fortunate to be able to implement so many improvements around the campus and enrichment programs with the generous contributions from our community. Check out all of our ongoing and completed projects below. And thank you for your continued support!
TK-3rd Grade Music Program
With 4th through 6th graders participating in VAPA, the PTA wanted to make sure TK through 3rd graders also had music in their curriculum. Each class gets to experience a 45-min weekly music lesson.
Art Masters Academy
At AHES, we believe in the important role that art plays in a well-rounded curriculum. The PTA sponsors 2-3 sessions per school year where an instructor from Art Masters Academy teaches the students about an influential artist and then the students create artwork in the style of that artist.
Reflections Art Contest
PTA Reflections is a nationally acclaimed student recognition program that encourages students artistic creativity in the classroom and home. PTA Reflections invites kids of all grades and abilities to get involved in the arts and explore their creative voice. We love seeing the amazing submissions from our students!
Birthday Book Club
During your child's birthday (or half-birthday!) month, they can choose a book from a selection of grade-appropriate options, and your child's name will be permanently displayed on a book label inside the front cover, recognizing their contribution to the AHES library.
Student of the Month
Every month, each teacher selects a student who they feel embodies Panther PRIDE to be recognized at a surprise assembly. We are so proud of all of our students and love being able to celebrate them for being awesome!
Red Ribbon Week
At AHES, we support Red Ribbon Week’s mission to keep kids drug-free. For a week in October, students participate in activities that promote making healthy life choices.
Scholastic Book Fair
Every Spring, the PTA works with Scholastic to organize a week-long Book Fair. The students are always so excited to explore new books, and it is a great way for our school to earn money for teachers to expand their classroom libraries as well.
Panther Pride Tickets
Teachers and school faculty have Panther Pride Tickets that they are able to hand out to students who are exhibiting behavior that demonstrates the qualities of Panther PRIDE. The students can enter their tickets into a raffle drawing at the end of the week.
After School Enrichment
The PTA’s VP of Programs works with outside vendors to offer a variety of optional after school enrichment programs. Past programs include basketball, pom, chess, jewelry making, and coding.
