Students in 5th grade at AES finished a math project on fractions. This project required students to create a unique pizza that included assorted toppings to represent different fractions of the whole pizza. They had to show three equivalent fractions for each of the toppings and write two word stories about their pizza fractions! They enjoyed a pizza party afterwards to celebrate their hard work. Thank you to our Nutrition Department, Ms. Dyer & Ms. Herrin, for helping us with this project!

Today we celebrate our School Nutrition Professionals! Between preparing delicious food, adhering to strict nutrition standards, navigating student food allergies, and offering service with a smile, our School Lunch Heroes have a lot on their plate. Thank you for your hard work and commitment to the students of RSU 57!
Students in PK-2 and 3-5 at AES had the opportunity today to visit with the author of "Fenway & Hattie" (our schoolwide book that we are currently reading for our "One School One Book" event). Students had the opportunity to learn about the author and how she developed her story. They also had the opportunity for a question and answer session. Students were so respectful, engaged and excited. I even heard a few say, "I want to write a book!"...that is the greatest response you can hope for when hosting an event such as this! Thanks to our RSU community & PTSA for making this experience possible!
