Last week the 3rd-5th grade students participated in "pie the teacher in the face" during field day.
Mrs. Puma’s 8th grade Language Arts class visited The Maltz Museum in Beachwood last week. They were able to take a guided tour learning about the Holocaust and participated in an interactive biography session from a Holocaust survivor. The students were able to tie what they learned on this field trip back to their reading of The Diary of Anne Frank.
Last Friday, AEA Strongsville proudly hosted its first annual Special Olympics Kickball event, bringing together middle and high school students for a spirited, tournament-style competition. The event fostered teamwork, sportsmanship, and inclusion, embodying the core values of the Special Olympics movement. AEA remains committed to creating inclusive opportunities that empower and celebrate all students.

Our elementary students are doing amazing things in Ms. Onderak’s counseling lessons! Students in grades K-2 have been learning how to be positive bucket fillers, while students in grades 3-5 have been growing their spot of perseverance and set “monster” goals they’d like to achieve. Ms. Onderak is so proud of all her students' progress and success this year!
