Eagle Fest is Coming Up!

Hello AES! My name is Stephanie Scher and I am the PTO VP of Events. My husband Greg, daughter Chelsea, and son Zachary and I moved here from NYC a little over a year ago. My background is in design / concept development for hospitality as well as residential design and styling. I have been in the events / hospitality industry for over 20 years. I am excited to be a part of the PTO Board and support our awesome school. 

Over the last few months I have had the opportunity to work closely with our event chairs and co-chairs. I am impressed! In addition to our event chairs I would also like to thank ALL the volunteers at AES! Without volunteers we wouldn’t be able to host such amazing events for our kids.

If you haven’t had an opportunity to volunteer don’t worry! We have about one event a month! Please reach out to me or anyone on the board and we will help find the perfect opportunity for you that works with your schedule! We can always use help before, during or after the events.

Please join us this year:

It’s that time of year again! EagleFest time! As we look into next week we have the most popular event of the year on Friday, September 28th from 4:30pm to 7:30pm. If you haven’t bought your tickets no worries, you can go to our PTO website and purchase your tickets before September 26th. There will also be a form sent home to purchase tickets and a Lazer Tag form as well.

Click hereto see our video about EagleFest! It’s Going To Be The Best Day of our kids’ lives, well at least that’s what my daughter Chelsea told me about EagleFest.

I  hope I have a chance to meet each and every one of you and I look forward to working side by side with you. I will be stationed at the Silent Auction in the cafe at EagleFest all night. Please come over and introduce yourself! I look forward to meeting everyone!
