Trailblazer Pride

Happy Friday! This sure has been a great spirit week at AMA, topped off with fun costumes and seasonal-wear today! We hope you have a wonderful and safe weekend. Remember, that daylight savings ends on Sunday and the clocks turn back one hour.

We had an informative virtual Lunch & Learn session with Nurse Alexis this past week. See below for the recording as well as her slides if you were not able to attend.

In Partnership,

Andrea Curd, Early Elementary Principal

Melissa Lloyd, Upper Campus Principal

I am excited to share an update on the progress of our building project! As you may recall, we first communicated with you about this exciting venture last spring. The initial phase involves selling our Early Elementary Campus on Middlebelt Road. Over the past several weeks, our realtor has welcomed several groups of interested buyers for tours. We have received positive feedback and are hopeful that we will be moving toward the next steps soon.

Please know that students at the Early Elementary Campus will remain at the Middlebelt Road location through the end of the 2026–2027 school year. As part of the sale agreement, we will include a leaseback arrangement that will allow us to continue using the building for an appropriate period of time, ensuring we can transition to the new campus smoothly and at the right time.

Additionally, Mrs. Lloyd and I have been meeting with our architect team regularly. We recently made selections for the interior design package for paint color, tile, and flooring. We're very excited with the progress the team is making!

In Partnership,

Mrs. Curd
