A Message from the Principal, Ms. Butts

February 1, 2025

Greetings, Bluebird Families!

I hope you are doing well. January was a fantastic month at AES, filled with learning, celebrations, and accomplishments. Here’s a look back and some important updates for February:

We kicked off the year strong, celebrating the 100th day of school with a special treat for our Bluebirds and recognizing our Leaders of the Month. More leaders will be celebrated in the coming months, so please continue encouraging your child to be a great leader! Our Beta Club students shined at the state convention, placing in the Top 5 in nearly 20 categories for 4th, 5th, and 6th grades—what an outstanding achievement!

Although our attendance dipped in January due to flu season, I’m hopeful we’ll bounce back and reach a 98% attendance rate in the coming weeks. Let’s work together to make this happen!

Looking ahead, here are some exciting events and opportunities you won’t want to miss:

  • Class Picture Day: Monday, February 3rd

  • American Heart Association Wellness Week: February 4th–9th

  • Sweetheart Dance: Friday, February 10th

  • School-Wide Musical - Alice in Wonderland: February 12th and 13th at VanMeter Auditorium on WKU’s campus at 6pm 

  • Family Night: Tuesday, February 20th

We’re also thrilled to have many field trip opportunities planned for our students this semester. Stay tuned for more details as those plans unfold!

Thank you for your continued support of our Bluebirds. Together, we’ll make February another incredible month of growth, learning, and fun!

With gratitude,
Pauletha Butts
Principal, Alvaton Elementary

First Lady Beshear is offering a great free service to all KY schools! TeachingBooks.net!

Today, as part of her commitment to Kentucky students, First Lady Britainy Beshear announced that TeachingBooks is now available and free to use at all Kentucky schools and libraries throughout the commonwealth, as well as online from a laptop or cellphone. This website provides learning resources about approximately 100,000 books for children and young adults.

“Reading to children, either in the classroom or in our public libraries, is one of my favorite things to do,” the First Lady said. “On my visits around the state, I’ve learned that teachers, librarians and families are always looking for ways to bring stories to life for their kids, just like Andy and I loved to do for Will and Lila. That’s exactly what TeachingBooks is all about.” 

She also shared “Winnie’s Christmas Book Club,” a list of picture books that would make great gifts for Kentucky kids this Christmas season. These include holiday booksKentucky books and some of the Beshear family’s all-time favorite stories. They are all featured on TeachingBooks here, with book cover jigsaw puzzles, videos, discussion questions and more.

The First Lady also encouraged buying from local bookstores and supporting Kentucky authors when shopping.
