The AES MESAC swim meet was held from Monday, October 25th to Wednesday the 27th. The AES team swam competitive races for the final MESAC event. In years prior to COVID, the team would travel to Dubai, Doha, or Abu Dhabi, but obviously, for safety reasons, they couldn’t this year. For the swimmers, it was either their first MESAC in over a year or their first one ever. Instead of everyone racing in the same pool, all swimmers competed at their home schools and sent in results

On Friday, October 8th, AES hosted Friday Night Lights for the first time since February 2020. A night consisting of swim races, golf, volleyball, taekwondo, and academic games. Due to COVID, these events didn’t happen last school year. Students, faculty, and family were thrilled to hear that the noisy night of competitive games was finally coming back! Vaccinated adults came on to campus to cheer on their friends and family. After ASIAC soccer games from 2:30 - 3:30 pm, a ba

Twenty years ago, the world changed forever. On September 11, 2001, the world trade centers in NYC were hit by two out of four planes hijacked by Islamic extremist group al Qaeda. The other one struck the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C, and the fourth crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The attacks caused 2996 deaths and over 6000 injuries. The attacks not only changed the way that people value their families but changed airport security rules and caused h

On this typical Wednesday afternoon, students were heading down for their break when all of a sudden they heard a loud: Clink! Thud! “What was that?” “You okay?” “Make space.” “Back away, people.” The huge glass door in the 6th-grade hallway connecting to the Jalsa had shattered. Just like that, the Jalsa was off-limits. Students were shocked! CC-BY Aarkin In the immediate aftermath of the event, people swarmed the Jalsa just in time to see a bloodied student walking out acco

On the third Friday of this school year, AES MS had Fort Frenzy! Unlike years prior, we were divided by grades because of COVID precautions. The school was split into two groups, half went to the Tiger Turf and the rest went to the middle school field. We only had an hour so we spent ten minutes at each station. Students had a super soapy time! This year’s games were Slippery Salmon, SpongeBob Wet Pants, Holy Relay Batman, and last but not least...break. Slippery Salmon was v

All students have returned to the AES campus for the first time since March 2020. High school and middle school students started on August 10th, and elementary students joined the following day. Covid protocols are still in place, but now they allow all students on campus with complete security and responsible health. Many students are relieved to go back on campus because they are able to concentrate more in person, meet new (and old) friends, and participate in fun school a

As the school year is coming to an end and India is still struggling with its second wave of COVID numerous students and faculty have left Delhi and are now learning or teaching from somewhere else in the world. Whether you’re also out of the country, going to leave soon or maybe you’re just curious about what doing school is like in a different time zone this is the article for you. I interviewed Mr. Currey who is currently hosting zoom classes from Texas and a 7th grade stu

For a lot of us this has been the craziest year of our lives. We went from all in person with many ASAs and plans to 100% online where everything shut down, then slowly started to move forward by going in two days a week. But now we have moved back to full online classes and it feels exactly like last year, only worse. Zoom classes can be challenging, but some students think that “Zoom is a great way to stay connected with people during the pandemic.” Under these circumstance

”My first thought of India was “Wow it’s really dusty here” but also just in general wow, seeing so many people and vendors selling fruits and stuff. When I first saw AES I loved the campus and thought it was pretty. When I met Sara at an orientation I didn’t recognise her so she was like “Hey Mckenzie“ and I was just playing along pretending like I knew who she was. I am excited for summer.” See more stories from #Hannah here! #humansofmiddleschool

From Lady Gaga’s meat dress at the 2010 MTV Music Video Awards to Tracee Eliss Ross’ “I am a voter” t-shirt at the 2018 American Music Awards, red carpet style has a huge influence on our society. Over time red carpet and celebrity fashion has become a way to make political statements and movements. No matter what you wear on a red carpet, you’re going to get press, so why not have it draw attention to an important issue. Actor and singer Billy Porter has made a number of fas

“Attention shoppers, we ask that you please not physically wrestle things from your fellow customers. There's a highly contractible virus out there that our country does not have a hold of. None of y'all are listening, huh? Alright, enjoy the apocalypse!” The COVID 19 pandemic has affected our lives in so many ways including what's on our television screens. Lots of shows opted not to incorporate the pandemic in their current seasons but some thought it was important to add t

Airports have always been a busy and crowded place now with the COVID 19 pandemic, airports all over the world have had to take many safety precautions to ensure everyone will remain healthy. Airports are filled with people from around the globe which means they could very easily be spreading the virus from their original location to their travel destination. Since airports are such a crowded spot they’ve needed to make some important rules like mandatory face coverings, keep
