Spring Break Reading

ATES Shines at the Get2Green Symposium - Last Thursday, Annandale Terrace Elementary School proudly participated in the Get2Green Symposium, an event that brought together schools from across the school district to showcase their environmental efforts. Our team had the opportunity to share the wonderful initiatives we've implemented through the Get2Green program, highlighting our students' commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. We are so proud of their hard work and the meaningful impact they are making in our school community! A huge thank you to Ms. Carr-Hogan and Ms. Ireland for all the work you have done to make sure we have a strong Get2Green program at ATES.
