We're so glad to see everyone back this week! ASE won't slow down now that we're in the final quarter of the year - and we're starting strong with a home game for our MS girls volleyball this Thursday at 4:30pm! Support our girls at their first home game of the season, and get ready for next week's volleyball games!

We hope you had a great spring break, ASE! We've got this week's lunch menu for our grand return for the fourth quarter!

Our lottery may have been rolled, but ASE is still open for 25-26 enrollment through October! Whether its our data shining higher than state averages, our character development, or our STEM-focused education, ASE has something to make every parent smile. Apply today to lock in your position on the waitlist!

PTO's Panda Express fundraiser is TOMORROW! Treat yourself and your family to some quick Chinese food while supporting our school! 20% of all sales between 9am and 9pm will be able to be credited to our fundraiser, so why not make it reason to pick up options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

Did you one a one-pint donation of blood can save up to 3 lives? Every 2 seconds, someone in our country needs blood, yet only 3% of age-eligible adults donate each year. Vitalant will be helping us host a blood drive right here at ASE following the break! ANYONE is invited to stop in between 9am and 1pm to donate blood on March 28th to make a big difference!

Have you put our literacy event in your calendars? In just two days, you're invited to see our students prosper in their performance pieces for you! See amazing showcases of poetry, music, and debates on Friday before the PTO fundraiser at Panda Express! Could your Friday get any better?!

Tomorrow is our monthly Advisory & Equity Council Meeting! Stop in to join the discussions either in-person or online via Google Meet ( meet.google.com/grh-qzgg-mkq ) at 5pm!
We hope to see you there!

!! CORRECTION !!
Tonight's Varsity Girls Volleyball will NOT be played at home. The game will be at Calvary Christian Academy, which is only just down the road from ASE (turn right down Chelwood Park, right onto Eastridge Dr. NE, and parking will be on your right before the street intersects Indian School). We hope to still see you there to support our girls tonight!

After the break, our counselors Ms. Osborne and Ms. Baldree alongside our security officer Pierre will be hosting parent nights to provide families with very important information, including emotional self-regulation in elementary children, self-harm, and single parent resources & information. Stop by and ask questions how to support your students more in these areas! Have questions that can't wait? Reach out to Ms. Osborne at amyosborne@abqse.org or Ms. Baldree at cbaldree@abqse.org or through our Let'sTalk portal on our website! Pizza and water will be provided!



Two home games are coming up for our volleyball teams this week! Our boys varsity team plays tonight at 7:30pm and our girls varsity will play tomorrow at 5! Come cheer them on and support our teams! 🎉

This week marks the start of collections! National Honor Society is hosting a food drive in partnership with Roadrunner Food Bank. The class who collects the most canned or jarred food between March 10-28 will earn a pizza party during their lunch. The most needed foods include canned food (fruits, veggies, meat, fish, beans, soup), peanut butter, pasta, rice, cereal, and jarred items (like pasta sauce). Participating teachers will have a collection box in their classrooms. This applies to SECONDARY ONLY. If you have an elementary student and would like to make a contribution, please reach out to Ms. Eberhardt (reberhardt@abqse.org) to plan a time to drop off donations.

We're back with this week's lunch menu! This week's entrees include a famous bowl, french toast sticks, chicken alfredo, Papa John's Pizza, and chef salad. Plan this week accordingly! Lunches may be subject to change based on supplies.

Next week is going to be busy as we wrap up the third quarter! Start off the break as best you can with Panda Express! 20% of profits earned during our fundraiser will come right back to our PTO! Help fund our school's success and enjoy a night of not cooking dinner!

Next week our students will come together at 1pm for the Literary, Musical, and Public Speaking Presentation of 2025. Support our students in this showcase of so many different means for literacy to play into our lives. Join us in the mid/high gym and celebrate winter's beauty under the warmth of powerful words and extraordinary self-confidence! What better way to prepare for a great spring break!
