2026-27 School Supply List:

We are working to raise $40,000 to build a walking track at Ambler Elementary, and we would love your support!
We are offering several sponsorship opportunities:
• Gold Sponsorship – $3,000
• Silver Sponsorship – $2,000
• Bronze Sponsorship – $1,000
• Ambler Family/Friend Donation – $500
All sponsors will have their name displayed on a banner that will line our fence facing the highway—recognizing your generous support for our school and community.
Our goal is to raise the full amount by the end of July so we can begin obtaining quotes and move forward with this exciting project.
This walking track will be a wonderful addition to Ambler Elementary. It will support student wellness through a walking and running club and provide a safe, welcoming space for our community to exercise and connect.
Thank you in advance for any contribution you can make. We understand that times can be challenging, but we truly believe in the positive impact this project will have on our children and our community.

All 2nd grade students will be assessed October 7th - 9th and October 21st - 22nd. The results of these assessments will be utilized to determine eligibility for the Gifted & Talented program. Please be sure students get a good night’s rest the day before testing and have a healthy breakfast the morning of testing. Also, make sure students arrive to school on time as testing will begin promptly at 8:15 each morning. Students should not be absent during this time.
