Principal's Message |
||
| Welcome to the Aiken Elementary
School website. Aiken School is named in honor of Mary Louise Aiken, a
devoted educator. Aiken School is a wonderful place to learn and grow!
Students in preschool through grade five receive an outstanding
education under the direction and support of our dedicated teachers and
staff.
Swoop, the owl, named by our students in honor of the Great
Horned Owl, is our special school mascot. His picture, chosen by the
students, is emblazoned on colorful tee shirts that students and staff
wear to monthly assemblies. Students practice the characteristics of
caring respect and responsibility as Aiken citizens and have the
opportunity to earn special Principal’s recognition each week for their
hard work in character development and academic achievement. Students
also participate in many exciting and rewarding activities such as
safety patrol, student council and mentoring younger students. They also
are actively involved in chorus, orchestra and band when they are in
fourth and fifth grade.
Our families are a
special part of what makes Aiken so unique. Parents volunteer in our
classrooms and support our school through participation in our Parent
Teacher Organization. Aiken has recently created beautiful
gardens, amphitheatre and a nature trail in the back of the school,
known as Aiken Acres. The gardens are linked to specific curriculum
themes that each grade level is studying and are cared for by the
students, teachers and parents. There are many annual activities at
Aiken that celebrate our diversity and sense of community, such as
International Night, Pizza Bingo Night and our Spring Fair. Our Spring
Art Show features a variety of art work and a carousel of horses that
highlights students' cultural heritage. As you browse our website,
you will learn about the rich curriculum themes at each grade level.
Take time to scan the calendar of events to see
what exciting activities are in store throughout the school year.
Find out about the cultures that
will be studied at each grade level. Catch up on what’s happening in Art,
Music, World Language and Physical Education. You will discover that Aiken
Elementary School truly is a great place to be! |
