Bearcat Senior Class of 2020 Recognition

The Aledo Education Foundation and the Aledo PTO have partnered together to recognize our Bearcat Senior Class of 2020 and WE NEED YOU!  Signs will be created for each Senior, be placed along FM1187 for community recognition, and then be given to the Senior.  Our community is stepping up in a big way, because we have almost reached our goal...we only need $1500 more!

This by no means will replace prom, senior awards ceremony, senior breakfast, graduation, etc.  But, let's show our seniors that we, as a community, stand behind them in this very difficult time.  How much can you give?  Click the link below, then click on "Aledo HS Class of 2020 Senior Recognition" to make an online donation.  Or, visit the Aledo Education Foundation website, www.aledoef.org, to make an online donation.  THANK YOU!

Congratulations to employees in Child Nutrition, Transportation, Maintenance, Technology, and the Aledo ISD Police Department for being the newest Aledo ISD Circle of Greatness honorees!  They have been on the frontlines serving our Bearcat students and families since school closures began.

Anyone been participating in Virtual Spirit Weeks on social media?  We would like to give a huge SHOUT OUT to the principals in our district who have created those fun events week after week.  And, huge PROPS to staff and principals who have gotten in on the fun!
