Valentine’s Day Art Fundraiser: As discussed at our monthly meetings, our annual operating budget is roughly $3000 short of our traditional annual carryover. Historically this surplus is necessary to ensure our ability to pay for our visual arts teacher, Ms. Stewart, at the beginning of the following school year. In order to help bridge this gap, we are hosting a dedicated fundraiser this Valentine’s Day expressly to assist in funding our visual arts program. Look at for more details coming to you soon!
Schoola: In the past two years we have raised more that $2,000 from your donations of gently used clothing to the website, Schoola. Schoola donations from AEA have greatly reduced this year and it is impacting our operating budget. If you have any clothing to donate, please print out a prepaid mailing label and ship your clothing to Schoola for resale to benefit AEA. . It couldn’t be easier or more appreciated!

PTA Meeting Minutes: All minutes from 2016-2017 PTA Meetings have been posted on our website.
AEA Parent Book Club: Ms. Jessica hosted the first AEA Parent Book Club this week to a great turnout. The selected book is Wonder by R.J. Palacio. We would love to invite you all to read the book and join us for snacks and discussion on Tuesday, January 31 at 8:30 in the Cafe. Even if you are unable to attend the meeting, we highly recommend this outstanding book!
On Stage with Ms. Leto: Every four years Chancellor’s Regulations require each NYC public school to address the option of student uniforms. Please join the PTA and SLT for an open forum to discuss this option on January 31 at 7:30 AM. If you can’t attend the morning time slot, we will also hold an open discussion at our February PTA meeting at 7:00PM on Thursday, February 2. This decision is in regards to the 2017-2018 school year.
