AES students have enjoyed entertainment from their peers dur- ing morning arrival. These talented musicians played instruments such as piano, violin, guitar & recorders. Other students sang songs about Christmas. The teachers & fellow students of these talented kids really enjoyed the entertainment. Mrs. Ogle, Mrs. Tomlinson & Mr. Stanko took two AES LEGO robotics teams to the “First Lego Leage” competition at Southwest Community College. Our teams “City Crusaders” & “System Overload” made AES very proud. Our amazing students have worked all year and both secured a spot in the championships (in January) and System Overload won first place in the Core Values! The LEGO ro- botics teams have met all year preparing for this competition and will continue im- proving their designs until the championships on January 25. donelson elementary CONGRATULATIONS to the 10 first graders from Mrs. Levin's who turned in 25 iReady tickets for a gold coin today.
