Ashmore Elementary School -

We are so proud of our leaders for the Month of October! Way to Begin With The End In Mind! #ashmorecusd1

https://5il.co/2iw92 ATTENTION parents/guardians of students that will be in grades K-4 next year: Do you think your child might thrive in a smaller classroom setting? Did you know you can request that your child go to Ashmore Elementary School if you live in our district but do not reside in Ashmore? Fill out a building request form or contact the Ashmore Principal at (217) 349-3001 if you think AES might be a better fit for your child next year!

Ashmore Elementary School students raised over $3350 this spring to help support the Ashmore PTO. Pictured are the students that sold 60+ raffle tickets. Such a great effort from our Ashmore students and families! Ashmore PTO utilizes the raised funds to support students with field trips, monthly reward celebrations, grade-level tee shirts, and more!

Best way to start the long weekend is with the sun shining at Ashmore Elementary! Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade students soaked it all up today at recess. See everyone back on Monday! #ashmorecusd1

Ashmore 4th grade & Kindergarten Buddies played math games on Monday.

Ashmore 3rd graders read the book Balloons Over Broadway and watched examples of Macy's Thanksgiving Day parades to gather ideas for their own balloons. Students then took time to design and bring their creations to life for their own parade! It was so much fun! Click on the link to see their parade! #ashmorecusd1 https://youtu.be/sghoTDztzb8

Halloween Festivities! Thank you to all of the parents and volunteers. We appreciate you all!

Thank you to the Fire Department for coming out and talking to us about fire safety. We appreciate you all!

We've started kicking each week off with Music Monday at AES to show our teachers appreciation and having a little bit fun!! This week Emily Jacobs was lucky caller #7!!!

The third-grade class earned electronics day for reaching their goal of 400 dojo points! Happy BYOD (bring your own device) to them!

The student lighthouse team at Ashmore Elementary met early this month to come up with some ideas for possible Ashmore buck rewards. Two of our Firefly members (both first grade students) presented the group's ideas to our PTO at this month's meeting. Way to lead and find your voices! #ashmorecusd1

One of the best times of the year is Grandparents' Week at Ashmore Elementary! We were so excited to see so many family members come in and eat lunch with our leaders. A special thank you to our PTO who ran the book fair and to our anonymous donor who gave every student the opportunity to pick out a book from the fair. If you'd like to see more smiling students head over to our school website! #ashmorecusd1

Ashmore Elementary did not want to miss out on all of the fun! Spirit week for 9/18-9/22. Go Trojans! #ashmorecusd1
