🎉 Thank You for an Incredible AEFL Week! 🎉

A huge THANK YOU to all of our wonderful hosts for helping make this year’s Adult Education & Family Literacy (AEFL) Week such a success! We’re grateful for the time, energy, and hospitality you put into bringing our Adult Education community together. ❤️

We kicked off the week with our virtual kickoff on September 14, followed by regional events hosted by:

📍 Pickaway Ross — September 15
📍 Apollo — September 16
📍 Tri-C — September 17

Each event was a great opportunity to build relationships, share ideas, participate in professional development, and connect with Adult Education colleagues from across Ohio.

And now, we want to see your AEFL Week memories! 📸

👇 Drop your favorite pictures from the events you attended in the comments! We’d love to see the people, conversations, activities, and moments that made the week special.

Thank you again to all of our hosts, participants, and everyone who helped make AEFL Week possible! 🎉❤️
