AMS Principal

Last week, we continued our Positive Office Visits with the A Teams. Here are some of the students who were recognized for being SHARP and doing a great job lately! Keep up the great work, kids!

These 6th Grade HAL students worked together to learn about genetics. Mrs. Hazzard provides a great variety of learning experiences for our HAL students.

Kenzlie was featured in a news story last week for her work with recycling cardboard. Our students do such great things - in and out of the classroom!

Even though it creates longer work days, our teachers greatly appreciate the time they get to spend connecting with families on Parent-Teacher Conference nights. And a huge shout out to our AMS Parent Pack who provided a meal for our teachers on Tuesday night, along with this adorable photo booth set-up!

7th/8th Grade Quiz Bowl teams will meet after school on Wednesday, October 21st.

Please plan rides for 3:45.

MathCounts Update!

We have decided to have EVERYONE meet weekly for MathCounts! A few students asked if we could meet every week, so we decided to make it happen!

We will no longer separate meetings by grade level. All MathCounts students, no matter what grade you are in, can attend each meeting.

We will alternate between Tuesdays and Thursdays each week.

October MathCounts Dates:

• Thursday, October 1st (ALL GRADE LEVELS)

• Tuesday, October 6th (ALL GRADE LEVELS)

• Thursday, October 22nd (ALL GRADE LEVELS)

• Tuesday, October 27th (ALL GRADE LEVELS)

We’re excited to see everyone each week and have some fun with math challenges, problem solving, and competition!

See you at our next meeting in Mrs. Schutte’s room (319)!

Art Club will be meeting in room 802 from 3-4 pm on the following dates:
