The 86th annual American Education Week (AEW) (November 11-17) spotlights the importance of providing every child in America with a quality public education, and the need for everyone to do his or her part in making public schools great.

This year's theme "Great Public Schools: A Basic Right and Our Responsibility reflects the Arab Education Association's calling upon Arab and Alabama to provide students with quality public schools so that they can grow, prosper, and achieve in the 21st century.

Arab Education Association hosts the Chamber of Commerce Early Morning Breakfast each year in November to call attention to this special week.   Click here to read proclamation.....
