The story of AJM Packaging began in Detroit in 1918. Abram, Jack, and Morris’ family owned a neighborhood grocery store beneath their small apartment. The whole family pitched in to keep the store afloat, even the young boys who stocked the shelves, unloaded the trucks, and took out the garbage. The family remained in the food industry and remained committed to working together, driving trucks and distributing produce and beer. In 1957, Abram, Jack, and Morris founded AJM Packaging Corporation. Headquartered in a red brick building on Dix Avenue in Detroit, where we still manufacture goods today, they purchased their first bag and plate machines and began converting paper into paper products. In 1993, Abram’s son Robert (Bob) took over the family business as president. Bob continued to grow the business, expanding AJM’s geographic footprint and national presence. Today, AJM is still a family-owned and family-run business. Over the last 60+ years, we have grown into a leading manufacturer of high quality branded and private label paper products, including paper plates, bowls, cups, and bags. We are proud to create manufacturing jobs here in the USA by operating our original Detroit manufacturing site, as well as an additional seven strategically located plants across the USA. All of AJM Packaging’s paper products are manufactured, printed, and packaged in the USA – when you buy AJM, you help us keep manufacturing jobs in our local communities. We remain committed to providing the reliable service and quality that has been important to AJM since the day Abram, Jack, and Morris started the business. We continue to reinvest in our company and our employees and strive to put the needs of our customers first, today, tomorrow and always.

We believe that school doesn’t have to be boring; that if we challenge, excite, nurture, and engage the whole child, we can inspire a love of learning that will last a lifetime. Here, what’s best for children drives the curriculum—not tests. It’s where passionate educators are empowered to teach, and intimate classrooms are places of joy, exploration, and respect for one another. It’s where bright students learn to tap into their curiosity and search for answers, rather than memorize them. Emerson is a special environment where smart is cool, and classrooms are comprised of other gifted, unique peers who help and encourage each other to become their best. It’s where bright students thrive, and we encourage you to learn more about how our school might benefit your child.

OUR MISSION HighScope is on a mission to close the opportunity gap through high-quality early education. OUR VISION To create a world where every child has the opportunity to realize their full potential, regardless of their circumstances. Because, we believe that high-quality early education has the power to change the trajectory of the world, one child at a time. WHAT WE DO At HighScope, we believe that every child deserves a high-quality, equitable early education.

That’s why we are dedicated to providing an early childhood education that supports every child and every community. We create strong instructional leaders across the country and around the world — helping programs build capacity for sustained positive outcomes and ensuring every teacher is supported and every child can thrive. HOW DO WE DO IT? We work side-by-side with teachers and programs studying classroom practice and child outcomes. Then, we bring the best of that research as evidence to support local, state, and national policies that advance the field of early childhood education. Our research defines best practices in early education and we use that knowledge to design HighScope products and services that empower early educators and ensure young children receive a high-quality education.
