Happy Pride Month

Celebrate Pride Month!

At AEF, we believe every student deserves to be seen, supported, and celebrated for who they are. During Pride Month and all year long, we stand with our LGBTQ+ students, families, educators, and community.

Together, we’re building inclusive spaces where everyone feels a sense of belonging. To those living their truth with courage and compassion — we see you, we support you, and we’re proud of you.
