P.S. Thank you, Jaya Maewal, for organizing our "Party in the Park" today! It was so fun to see everyone before summer starts!

Attention all incoming Kindergarten Families

Hopefully you can make it to one or more of the following events:

Sunday, July 21st at 11 am

Wednesday, August 7th at 5 pm

Meet up at Ashley Falls Park!

Thank you, Room Parents!

Thank you to all our room parents this year! You help make communication easier for our organization and you allow us to be even more effective on campus by supporting our children and teachers and staff in the individual classrooms! Thank you for planning all the amazing year-end parties for our children and helping to build our community!

Neighborhood Safety Alert

As we break for summer, it is good time to remind children of safety precautions, like the buddy system, family code words, and emergency contacts. We take great pride in the fact that our community is caring and safe and that neighbors look out for each other.

Due to a recent incident in our neighborhood, one of our parents would like to share additional information in an effort to keep the community informed.

Good News! Thanks to community support and information from other parents in and around Ashley Falls, we were informed that the man was caught Thursday morning by northwestern division officers for further investigation. More details in the safety alert link.

6th Grade Promotion

Congrats to all our 6th Graders on their completion of elementary school! We celebrate all their growth and triumphs over their time at Ashley Falls Elementary School!

Thank you to the 5th grade parents and students for helping with refreshments! And to the parent volunteers who also helped ensure that today was a special and memorable day for all our rising Eagles and families!

The Ashley Falls PTA is proud to support our students from start to finish and we couldn't do it without the donations from our generous community!

Goodwill Games

Thank you to all the parents and family members who came out to volunteer for our Goodwill Games! We hope you had a fun time seeing all the students and meeting other parents!

BIG thank you to Amanda Frizzell for coordinating this event with Mastersports and reserving our coveted spot year over year!

We hope your child had a memorable time!

The Ashley Falls PTA was happy to coordinate and fund the Goodwill Games and the popsicles after.

Mileage Club Finishes Strong

Congrats to all the top 3 winners of each grade level for running the most laps/miles this year! Special shout out to Brooks Oberto (2nd grade, not pictured) for being the TOP overall runner this year with over 170 miles.

A very special thank you to Ashley Falls parent, Walton Chan, and his company Creating Brand Legacy Worldwide for designing and creating the award medals. These were world class race medals and a nice surprise for students and parents.
