Administration

Dear AITE Family,

As we continue to foster a supportive and inclusive environment at AITE, I want to take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate the diverse cultures and traditions within our community.  This week marks the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and I would like to extend my warmest wishes to all our families observing this holiday. Additionally, our celebration of Hispanic Heritage month, a time to honor and celebrate the rich contributions of the Hispanic and Latinx communities, continues through October 15. Students have been engaged in activities and discussion taking place in some of their classes that highlight the importance of this heritage. October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about breast cancer and promoting early detection, treatment, and a cure. This provides a valuable opportunity for health education and raising awareness within our community. Later this month, AITE will hold a spirit week and its annual Pink Out day to bring awareness to this important cause.

There a several other activities and events happening this month, which you see in the Upcoming Events section at the end of this communication.

Have a wonderful weekend. 

Kind regards,

Ms. Rivera
