Ashland Elementary School students and staff enjoyed a wide variety of Dr. Seuss themed activities during I love to Read and Write week. Members of the committee, who planned this annual event, transformed the school into a magical world filled with trufulla trees and Dr. Seuss characters throughout the building. Students were encouraged to participate in the Read Aloud Day, the Seuss Dress Up Day and the Seuss Scavenger Hunt. During the culminating event, Dr. Seuss Stations Day, students progressed through ten stations including Crossword Puzzle Mania, Seuss Bingo, Make Your Own Seuss Hat, Reading Room, Crazy Mad Libs, Dress Up Relay, Seuss Hat Snack, Movement Games, Oobleck and finally the Lorax Writing Station.

The Ashland Elementary School Student Council planned and implemented a variety of Winter Carnival activities for the staff and students.   The theme of this year’s Winter Carnival was “The Decades”. All were encouraged to participate by dressing according to each day’s theme, which included Decades Hair, Decades Icons and Decades Fashion styles.

Students in Grades 6 – 8 also participated in a variety of activities including a Trolley Race, Lip Sync Battle, Ceiling Tile Painting Contest and the much-anticipated Scooter Relay.  Each grade level earned points for events throughout the week.

Ashland Elementary School students recently enjoyed a visit from author Kathy Deady.  Ms. Deady has written many outstanding nonfiction books.  You can actually find several of her books in the AES Library.  The event was sponsored by the CliF foundation.
