We strive to do this through:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1)&nbsp;Focused support of enrichment programs (including Art, Music, Outdoor Education, Physical Education, and Science) within the set curriculum, as well as overall support for&nbsp;Assemblies and Field Trips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2)&nbsp;Athletic, academic, and cultural experiences (including both German and Spanish) for our entire student body that&nbsp;are both social and educational, and consistent with our International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3)&nbsp;Teacher and staff appreciation and support throughout the entire school year (including our Teacher Grant program and Staff and Teacher Appreciation Week).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4)&nbsp;Meaningful Family Engagement (including meetings and events that promote an open&nbsp;discourse between families, our teachers and staff, school administrators, and our&nbsp;larger community). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5)&nbsp;Special Events which create lifelong Memories and help to cultivate a sense of community (both on campus and in the world in&nbsp;which we live).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6)&nbsp;Facilitating&nbsp;and promoting Communication between our&nbsp;families and with AEA (facilitated by volunteer Room Parents as well as through&nbsp;Social Media). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its formation in 2007,&nbsp;FoAEA has provided important financial assistance to AEA. Our efforts have been instrumental&nbsp;throughout the growth of our schools, including helping to start&nbsp;many of the Specials at the Elementary School and the Music Program at the Middle School. The highly anticipated AEA High School will surely benefit from our continued&nbsp;efforts and&nbsp;support. As AEA continues to grow and evolve, so too will Friends of AEA &#8211; as we work together as members of our larger AEA&nbsp;community, all for the benefit of our children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foaea.org\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2022-Bylaws_redefined.pdf\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.foaea.org\/test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/2022-Bylaws_redefined.pdf\">Bylaws of Friends of Albert Einstein Academies &#8211;
