It is with great excitement and pride that we announce the recipients of the Model Mustang Staff Award for the month of November! This award is a tribute to those outstanding individuals who embody the qualities of a true “Model Mustang”; they inspire, lead, foster positivity, persevere, and excel in all that they do. Each Model Mustang was nominated by colleagues who took the time to acknowledge and celebrate their coworkers’ exceptional contributions to our district. Their hard work and commitment have not gone unnoticed, and we are grateful for the positive impact they have within RSU 57! Click the link to view November's Model Mustang Award recipients. Congratulations, all! https://tinyurl.com/4k37b9my
Today 4th and 5th grade students in Ms. Shopland's and Ms. McCarthy's class visited the outdoor classroom space on our nature trail and learned a little bit about tree identification. While on the trail, students also used skills learned in the classroom like measuring circumference of a circle, rounding decimals, division, multiplication, and data collection to estimate the age of trees along the AES trail. We observed some trees that were only about 4 or 5 years old and others that were over 100 years old!

At AES Mrs. Bear's classroom has been named as a winner of the 2023 "Learning A-Z Star Donation Challenge"! This means that her classroom achieved the highest star donation in the entire State of Maine! This enables "Learning A-Z" to donate larger quantities of clean drinking water, nutritious meals and school supplies to a children's humanitarian organization that works worldwide to help communities in need. Students will enjoy a class pizza party to celebrate the occasion!
Alfred Elementary would like to recognize Miss Jenn & Miss Suzanne! Both are part of RSU 57's nutrition department and work on site at AES.

Not only did they received recognition for the cleanliness and organization of our kitchen, they received a perfect score from the inspector who shared that this is the only one given so far! Well done, and thank you for your service to all of the students of AES & RSU 57!

Ms. Lessard and Mrs. Larochelle's Kindergarten classes at AES celebrated their completion of learning letters and letter sounds by conducting an ABC Fashion Show!! Families helped to decorate a vest with an assigned letter. The students had a blast as they walked the runway highlighting their letter vest to strobe lights and high energy music! The event was a great way to celebrate student learning and achievement!
Grades 3-5 at AES participated in their first grade span assembly of the year! Mrs. O'Donnell and Mr. Sleight were guest speakers and game show hosts presenting on digital citizenship. Students learned how to be safe, kind, respectful and responsible when using technology and tested their knowledge by playing a jeopardy game.
On Halloween, AES students came to school dressed as their favorite storybook character! They marched in a parade along with their book and halloween music. Students were surprised by staff when they arrived as Dalmatians (101 of them to be exact) along with their arch-enemy, "Cruella De Vil"!
The Pre K to Grade 2 students of Alfred Elementary School warmly welcomed Captain Mone of the York County Sheriff's Department to our school on October 31st!

It was a wonderful morning of learning!
