Welcome back, Blazers! What a treat to see everyone's smiling faces, and a few tired faces, this morning.
Please do not forget that this week Student Council is sponsoring our 2nd Annual Color Run. This is a fun even and the weather is supposed to cooperate nicely! This Thursday, March 28th from 3:15-4:15pm.
If you haven't turned in your permission slip, it is due by THURSDAY MORNING. If you need another form, they can be printed here or picked up in Ms. Rengers's office in the Counseling Center. We hope to see you there for a great time.
We will also have Kona Ice in the back. If you can't participate in the Color Run, but want some Kona Ice, please park in the front and walk around to the back due to the busses and pick up lines. Their prices have changed, so please see the flier below.
It is a GREAT time for some after school fun, so please join us. Any questions, please reach out to Ms. Rengers at arengers@bentonvillek12.org or 479-254-5517.

Our students and staff love having our school resource officer, Officer Cook, on campus with us here at AAMS. He is a wonderful role model and makes positive connections with our students.
The SRO assignment is unique within the law enforcement profession. These officers fill a three-part role, serving as informal mentors or counselors, law educators and law enforcement officers to support the students and communities they serve. They are valuable and essential members of the education community who deserve unwavering respect and support from the public in the pursuit of keeping schools and students safe.
Thank you Officer Cook for helping to keep our school safe and helping to establish positive relationships between law enforcement and our community.
