A trifold brochure went home in this week's Wednesday folders. This is a memorable event for the entire community and one you won't want to miss.

Begin talking with your student about how they plan to exhibit their artistic skills. We'd love to see more group collaboration for our live performances!

Eclipse Glasses

Monday, April 8th for the solar eclipse, the Ashley Falls PTA purchased eclipse glasses for the students. Teachers and staff helped students to safely witness the eclipse.

Your donations allow our PTA to offer opportunities like this for all our students!

Earth Day - April 22

This earth day we are fortunate to have Michael Simkin, an Emmy award winning producer, hold an assembly and Q&A for Ashley Falls students. The theme for our earth day is "the ecosystem of a butterfly," which continues to build off the hands on learning we've achieved with our beautiful butterfly garden.

The Ashley Falls Earth Day was organized by the Ashley Falls PTA. The Ashley Falls butterfly garden was sponsored by the Ashley Falls PTA.
