It's Election Day! 🗳 Which would you vote for: Oreo or Chips Ahoy? 🍪 Second Graders at AO Elementary participated in an Official Grade 2 Cookie election. After learning about the election process, students created campaign posters, engaged in persuasive discussions, and completed an official ballot. The results are in! Oreo won in 5 classes, Chips Ahoy in 1.

Good afternoon parents, we will be down one bus driver for the foreseeable future. We have a plan that will get all students home safely but your child's arrival and pick up time may change. Please be patient with us. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.

Imani Small @ms_small12 One of our students and their grandparents handed us a very kind card and tasty treat in carpool this afternoon (and it happens to be one of my favorites). A sweet ending to a productive, long week and a good send off into the weekend. I love @myAOfamily ❤️.
