As we welcome back our AAMS Blazer students today, we know just how thankful we truly are. Their laughter and smiles were missed last week, but we all know just how important it is to recharge. Thank you for sharing your kiddos with us. We are truly appreciative and thankful. We look forward to several exciting weeks before Winter Break!
Dates to Remember:
Spirit Night at Smash Burger Dec 6th (5-8pm)
Spirit Night at Las Palmas Dec 14th
PTO Meeting 12:30pm Dec 14th
Holiday Market Dec 19-21st during lunches only
Student Council School Store open every MWF
In the News with PTO! November happenings....
Coins for Calm Fundraiser! Student Council is trying to raise enough funds to purchase every student at AAMS to have a Calming Strip on their chrome books. Send in any and all change (paper money is fine too) for a homeroom challenge. The homeroom with the most will pie their teacher and principal in the face! We still need right at $1000. Our goal is $1500..... Way to go, Blazers. Keep Shining Bright!
Congrats to our Shining STAR winners the last few weeks! These students, and two more who are not pictured this week, have gone above and beyond to help make a positive difference here at AAMS. Way to go, Blazers. Keep shining bright!

Zone 4 School Board Candidate Forum: Tuesday, October 11th at 6pm at AAMS.
Anyone know what today is? .... Yeah, our Principal McAuliffe didn't either until our entire student body welcomed him this morning one by one with a silent Hershey Hug on his desk. Principal McAuliffe stood very confused as students continued to make their way through his office and quietly set down their "Hug" for the day. The students kept a very tight lip and no one let it slip. It was a wonderful way to start a Monday morning. The students had a blast and Principal McAuliffe couldn't hide his laughter throughout the entire ordeal. He was such a GREAT sport.... I mean, that is what you do for "National Hug A Kevin Day".....
I think Principal McAuliffe will have enough "Hugs" to last him quite a while!
Help us celebrate National Coaches Week and "Dress like a Coach" tomorrow, October 4th. Grab those tall tube socks, your stopwatch, you hat and wrist bands and show us just what a Championship Winning Coach looks like to you! Have some fun!
Yearbook... Purchase by September 30th to get 10% off. That's TOMORROW! However, good new is, you can still purchase a yearbook beyond tomorrow. TreeRing is such a GREAT choice.
