It's Almost Turkey Trot Time!

Don't forget this week is American Education Week!

The 1st graders at Aiken Elementary School had the best time with Spencer from FOTAS! Students were introduced to the book, Every Dog in the Neighborhood in the library this week. Then on Friday, Mrs. Samaha came to visit and brought Spencer. She talked with classes about the animals at FOTAS and ways to volunteer. Spencer and his brothers are up for adoption at FOTAS. He is the sweetest puppy and would make a great pet!










More shout outs to our shining stars! We are so lucky to have the best of the best here at AES!
