Aloha AES Families,
Wanted to share quick updates regarding this upcoming short week!
-

-
Tuesday, November 11th, is Veterans Day;
no school for everyone.
Mahalo to your family and friends for their service.
Four-day weekend for students!! WOOHOO!!
Oh, to be a kid again...
Then it's the middle of November! This quarter is
flying by.The school-wide Character Strong theme
for November is Gratitude. Oftentimes, we get
bogged down with the hustle and bustle of the day that we overlook and take for granted the small things. Perhaps as a family, reflect on the little things you are grateful for and share out.
We’re excited to share some fun events happening this month that your child will be bringing home more details about soon. Here’s a little sneak peek: get ready for the Turkey Trot, school-wide fundraiser, picture retakes (the schedule will be announced soon), and I'm sure your child's teachers have a few things planned as well.
November 13th at 8:30 a.m., we will have an announced fire drill. November 14th, from 9:00-10:00, we will be welcoming Representative Jackson Sayama to our campus!
There will be *no school* on: Thursday,
November 27th,Friday, November 28th.
Then that's a wrap for November.We understand
how important it is for your child to succeed in
school. When families collaborate with the school,
we all become part of the same team. This
partnership helps us ensure that we are teaching
in a way that truly supports your child's success.
Your involvement at home makes a significant
difference!
Thank you, families, for all you do!Have a safe and
memorable weekend!
Mrs. Ichiyama

Drone Fly-Over
We were lucky to have been introduced to John Johnson through our Friends of Ali‘iolani (FOA) President Mr. and Mrs. Chong.
John was able to film our school from 400 feet with his drone and captured some amazing photos that allow us to see our school's physical space in a different light. He also was able to get all students and staff in a big "A" with Diamond Head and the Honolulu cityscape in the background.
We are so thankful to John for donating his time and energy and making our school a true work of art for all to see.
