As spring begins to blossom around us, we wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very happy Easter! We hope your weekend is filled with joy, laughter, and the warmth of family and friends.
Whether you're celebrating with egg hunts, special meals, or simply enjoying the beautiful weather, we hope it's a peaceful and happy time for your family.
Just a friendly reminder about the 8th grade awards ceremony on Friday, May 9th in the AGS cafetorium! Starting at 6:30 PM, we will begin celebrating the achievements of our wonderful students. Immediately following the awards ceremony, the 8th Grade Dance will kick off and run until 10:00 PM.
Dance tickets may still be purchased in the office for $10 (CASH ONLY). Tickets include admission to the dance, DJ, Photo booth, games, and delicious food. Parents, stay tuned for information on how you can help make this dance shine by volunteering to help set up, chaperone, and clean up after the event is over.

Below is the code to join PhotoCircle. You'll want to download the app & then request to join the group for this year's yearbook album where you may submit photos to be considered. The link is also posted in the comments for those who have issues with the posted link below.
Submission Guidelines: Please only add photos of AGS events, sports & activities. Please add a caption to each picture with a short description of what the picture is of & who the students are in the picture. PLEASE DO NOT ADD NON-AGS RELATED SPORTS & ACTIVITIES TO THE ALBUM. This causes many wasted hours to the yearbook design process when things such as youth sports, sleepovers & parties are added. Thank you!
Please email Ms. Fleury with any questions or concerns regarding the yearbook. mtodorovsky@fentonschools.org
Photo Circle Link: only click this link once you have downloaded the app.
