Aiken High School’s Educators Rising would like to invite you and your children to enjoy “A Royal Family Ball” in the Aiken High School cafeteria. This event is for families with young children to experience a “prom-like” event, where they get to dress up in fancy clothes, dance to fun music, eat delicious snacks, make crowns, decorate “chalices,” enjoy other activities, and take pictures of the memories!
Tickets are available on GoFan.com see the link below and QR Code in the picture. Costs are $5.00 for each child ages 3-years-old to 12-years-old (children 2 + under are free). All children must be accompanied by an adult family member (18-years-old and up). Costs for adult tickets are $10.00.
If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Christa Franklin (cfranklin2@acpsd.net), the Educators Rising adviser and Early Childhood Education Instructor.

Way to go Aiken Elementary students! Our school raised $6,583 for the American Heart Association’s Kids Heart Challenge event. Because of you we helped improve and save lives!
Students on our Student Leadership Team recently coordinated efforts to raise needed food and supplies to be donated to the Aiken SPCA. Our drive culminated with a visit to the SPCA to drop off the supplies and see first hand the cats and dogs that would benefit. It was an amazing visit and we appreciate the SPCA in all that they do to help these sweet pets get adopted.
