Attention AAE EL Parents! We invite you to join us for an event on June 1st!

One of Anniston's favorite events is happening on Friday, May 22, 2026, MARKET DAY! Students in 3-5th grades have the opportunity to bring items to sale to their peers. The whole school will have the opportunity to shop! Make sure to send a few dollars with your child!

Does your child have books at home he or she no longer reads? Students may donate some of their own gently used books to exchange for the same number of gently used books that other students have brought in. They will need to give their books to Mrs. Giorgio in the library, and they will be called back to the library later this month to pick out the books they want to take home. Gently used means the books are in good condition with no scribbles, stains, or tears.

¿Tiene su hijo o hija libros en casa que ya no lee? Los estudiantes pueden donar algunos de sus propios libros —en buen estado— para intercambiarlos por la misma cantidad de libros, también en buen estado, que hayan traído otros compañeros. Deberán entregar sus libros a la Sra. Giorgio en la biblioteca; posteriormente, en el transcurso de este mes, se les llamará de nuevo a la biblioteca para que elijan los libros que deseen llevarse a casa. Se entiende por "en buen estado" que los libros se encuentren en buenas condiciones, sin garabatos, manchas ni roturas.

Quick reminder: if you have the GSD app, make sure your notifications are turned on!
That’s how you’ll receive important updates, reminders, and announcements from your child’s school and the district. It only takes a second to check — and it makes a big difference.

Our talented Quest students from all the elementary schools and both middle schools showcased the incredible projects they've been working on throughout the year. From the robotics team giving driving lessons in preparation for the world competition at the end of April, to underwater robotics, LEGO STEAM, community projects, Macey Day balloon creations, chess tournments, fingerprint exploration, and steps to publishing - the creativity and hard work on display were truly inspiring! We were thrilled to have our Gifted Advocacy Board Members, principals, central office staff, parents, and community members join us to celebrate our students' achievements. A huge thank you to everyone who made this event possible! Your support makes a difference! 💙✨
