Some classes still need Homeroom parents! Please reach out to your child's teacher if you are interested in being the Homeroom parent for your child's class. We appreciate your support!
This year's Homeroom Parent Training will provide you with information about the upcoming school year and will give you an opportunity to meet other Homeroom Parents. We can't wait to see you there!

Dolphin Fest
Saturday, November 5th
This rain or shine fall festival event is PTA's largest annual fundraiser and is open to everyone.
We have 4 amazing food vendors lined up, so come hungry!
1) games and attractions sponsored by our AMAZING business partners and local vendors
2) themed class baskets put together by each of our WONDERFUL classes
3) rockin' online silent auction, anything and everything you can think of generously donated from local and distant businesses, created and or given by our FABULOUS ABE families/community.
**Each of these components require help and support to be fun and successful. Please help make this year's Dolphin Fest the best yet.
Dolphin Fest - Silent Auction
PTA's largest fundraiser, Dolphin Fest, will be held on Saturday Nov. 5th and will be here before we know it. The success of our auction is made possible by the generous donations we get from businesses and parents. If you would like to donate to our silent auction, please don’t be shy! We welcome contributions from home businesses, families, faculty, and friends. Items don’t have to fit a basket. Do you have spare time at a vacation home or condo? Are you crafty and want to make an item? Do you know a business that would love to participate?
The auction will have something for everyone! Now is a great time to start getting an auction donation together, all donations need to be received by October 26, 2022. This amazing event doesn't happen without your support.
Remember, ALL proceeds come right back to our little pink school to support our fabulous programs and initiatives.
Volunteer of the Month: September
Our September Volunteers of the Month are Jennifer and Jed Goff. This awesome duo took over the daunting task of organizing The Children’s Garden by the Sea clean up and are off to a great start. Half of the cleanup has already taken place and the garden is looking so much better. The second phase of the cleanup is already scheduled for 9/10. As the new Garden Coordinators, Jennifer and Jed are not only taking on the clean up organization of the garden but will also be running the planting and harvesting schedules with all the students (be on the lookout for more volunteer opportunities from them). The garden is such a special place for our students, and we are so blessed to have The Goff Family leading the way to it’s rejuvenation. Thank you both so much, Jennifer and Jed, for your time and organization!
As a reminder to all ABE families, with the return of Volunteers to the school we also have the return of the Volunteer of the Month Parking Spot in the front circle. Please respect those who have earned the privilege of parking there!
Business Partners
Donations from our Business Partners specifically assist programs that impact students directly, and without the continued partnership of Business Partners and PTA Members, these programs would not be possible.
If you know a local business interested in becoming a part of our Business Program, we want to know!
Contact William Peterson, Business Partner Liaison or visit our ABE PTA websitefor more information.
Lots of ABE Dolphin love goes out to two special Business Partners: Jeremiah's Italian Ice and Shipley's Do-Nuts.
Jeremiah's Italian Ice is our official Spirit Day sponsor for 2022-2023. The class winners for each Spirit Day will receive a sweet treat voucher from Jeremiah's.
Shipley's Do-nuts is going to provide our A and A/B Honor Roll students donut vouchers for their academic success for the 2022-2023 school year.
