Kindergarten Projects:
AES students visit UNWA and DCWA sponsered kindergartens and students from those schools visit our kindergarten to share activities, learn the role of host, provide snacks and exchange token handmade gifts.
Grade 1 Projects:
AES students participate in an annual "read in" to raise funds to support "Room to Read" in India. This NGO creates libraries in local schools in Delhi and also provides support and scholarships for girls to attend school. First graders also make quilt squares that are sewn into baby blankets and given to a local orphanage.
Grade 2 Projects:
