AES would like to send a heartfelt Thank You to the groups that have helped support the AES Backpack Buddies Program! #thankyou #WeAre409

Dear Families and Seniors,
First, thank you for understanding the change in date for our graduation ceremony. We also want to take the time to inform you about the announcements ordered, where graduation will take place, and the number of tickets each student will receive for their families to attend graduation. Graduation change inserts will be sent to every student who purchased their announcements from Jostens. These inserts with the change in graduation date have an estimated arrival time the week of April 22nd.
Graduation will be inside the gym at Atchison High School, and each Senior will receive 10 tickets for their family. Graduation will also be streamed for anyone who wants to watch online at home. We want this to be a great graduation for all of the Class of 2024. Thank You and #WeAre409.

Wear BLUE on Tuesday April 30th. To help create a world in which autistic individuals are fully supported, championed and celebrated, we must all work together to achieve true acceptance. The Unified Champions Special Olympics Club at Atchison High School has helped design a T-Shirt to celebrate Autism Awareness. We invite you to purchase a T-shirt or simply wear BLUE on April 30th to "celebrate the spectrum". Use the QR code on the order form to place your order. Let's turn Atchison BLUE on April 30! #WeAre409
