Again, this year, Got Lunch - Ashland and Holderness intends to provide for healthy lunch foods during the months of July and August until school resumes. However, due to the impact of the COVID-19, there are questions regarding what the state and federal agencies will be providing and how Got Lunch can fit into their plans. In addition, the Got Lunch team is looking into providing Bob's Shurfine vouchers for the fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, protein, and bread products instead of packing bags each week for the safety of our team members.

Any family who is interested in participating in the Got Lunch Program MUST complete the attached and return by mail as indicated by June 10, 2020.

Ashland Elementary School students recently enjoyed an enthusiastic assembly presented by the PSU TIGER program.  TIGER (which stands for Theater Integrating Guidance, Education, and Responsibility) is a powerful and exciting collaboration between the Integrated Arts and Counselor Education graduate programs at Plymouth State University.  The performers urged the students to incorporate kindness, thoughtfulness and inclusion into their daily interactions with others.

Congratulations to Oliver Templar, Zelda Brent and Aaron Desmond who were named Ashland Elementary School Warrior Award recipients at a recent all school morning meeting. These students were selected by their tier teachers because they are a positive force within our community. Their attitude, effort and behavior make them role-models for all of our members. Warrior Award recipients consistently incorporate the AES Core Values of honesty, respect, integrity, caring, loyalty, citizenship, responsibility and fairness into their daily lives.

Ashland Elementary students, parents, staff and community members enjoyed a wonderful evening of music and fun as the new music teacher, Hailey Kelley, directed her first school concert.  Sharing in a night of firsts, this year’s Kindergarten students enjoyed the spotlight as they performed their musical numbers.
