What's Going On... on Campus? ABE Leadership Program
As we all know so many things are different this school year; the Leadership Program is no exception.

Students were not able to choose their favorite program because of safety guidelines. They stayed with their homeroom teacher to minimize contact with other students, teachers and faculty members. The teachers also have been limited to what they can offer and do with their students.

Nonetheless, once a month the students meet with their teacher to explore the Run Club, Crafts and Creativity, Gardening, and Random Acts of Kindness -- just to name a few.

Here is a small insight of what our students are doing in their Leadership Clubs:

Box Tops for Education - NO MORE CLIPPING
Due to COVID-19, we are unable to physically collect any clipped Box Tops this year, but you can still help us earn money for our little pink school!

Instead of clipping from packages and checking expiration dates, all Box Tops can be earned digitally by scanning your receipt. Box Tops for Education has built a user-friendly Box Tops mobile app, available now.

The new app allows you to scan your store receipts, find participating products, earn extra tops, and instantly add Box Tops to our school's earnings online, all year round.

Shopping Online? Scheduling a pick up? Emailed receipt? No problem! You can still submit your receipts and help earn Box Tops for our school.
All you have to do is go to your app store, download the Box Tops for Education app, sign up for free, and start scanning!
Volunteer of the Month: Lindy Mullen
This month we would like to say a big thank you to our January Volunteer of the Month: Lindy Mullen. The past few years Lindy has been such a driving force behind securing and keeping relationships with Business Partners for ABE. The support from these Business Partners allow the PTA to provide so many extra programs for the students, as well as provide additional financial support to teachers and their classrooms. We are so very grateful to Lindy for her continued efforts to secure funding, even during these difficult times.  Thank you Lindy! 
Business Partners
We are pleased to announce our 2020-2021 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. As ABE Lights the Way for Leadership and Learning in our 2020-2021 school year, ABE PTA is committed to ensuring our Business Partner program continues with exposure to ABE families and students both in-person and virtually.
