AEF Middle School Sports are Back with an Equity Focus
AEF is back at it with our Middle School Sports program, which we have been running since 2009 after it was cut by AUSD. AUSD and public middle school students are eligible to participate as part of their school teams. Girls Basketball games begin in January 2022 with the boys games following in March.
