Your students can now be recognized beside basketball players, football players, and outstanding speech and music students in a very special place. One of the finest spaces in the new Wells Fargo Center in Des Moines is the Iowa Hall of Pride. It is where outstanding Iowa students and teachers are Stars.

Thanks to the work of Dave Pratt, retired art teacher and active member of the AEI Board, we have secured a grant to help defray the cost of the exhibit. The grant came from the Iowa Arts Council. More money is needed to help match that grant. Please contact Dave to make a personal donation and be listed as a sponsor. Or contact a local business that might be interested in having their name displayed there. Or how about your PTA or school booster group?
