Even the losses were near-wins
The 2021-22 AE/MS Girls Basketball team’s season started in early December as the girls got back into gear, polishing off the rust and working on their skills. They came together as a team, coached by Lauren Koron and Katelyn Churchill. The winter play production prevented full-court practice or any home games at the start of […]
February 4 was first remote learning "snow" day

Amazingly, we find ourselves […]
Students have choice of clubs or recess
One of the things that was greatly missed during the COVID shutdown of 2020, as well as during the hybrid schooling model that was in place last year, were extracurricular activities and social events. Knowing this, and wanting to make up for so much lost time, the specialist team at AE/MS (Alex Ager, Alex Bramley, […]
