Ackerman Elementary-PTO

Friday was Principal’s Day, and we had the privilege of presenting our amazing principal with a heartfelt gift to celebrate her!

While we’re sad to see her move away from us to central office, we know she’s going to absolutely rock her next chapter.

We’re beyond grateful for her OUTSTANDING leadership and all she’s done for our school. Wishing her nothing but success - she’ll always have a cheering section with us! 💙❤️

❤️💙

Eight months of planning. COUNTLESS texts, meetings, phone calls, late nights, and “wait… did we order that yet?” moments later… and we did it. 🎉🌈

I am so incredibly proud of our AES PTO officers. This Color Fun Run Fest didn’t just happen—it was built piece by piece with hard work, teamwork, and a whole lot of love for our school and community.

Serving as president alongside this group has been such a blessing. They showed up, worked hard, and gave their all to make something truly special for our kids and our community. 💛

Y’all go show them some love—because they absolutely deserve it. 👇
