AMS Weekly Bulletin for June 1 - June 5

Posted Date: 05/29/26 (04:05 PM)




PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Good afternoon everyone,

Well, the final week of school is upon us!

This week has been full of memorable moments; students received their yearbooks, our sports teams wrapped up successful seasons, and we enjoyed our final concerts of the year. We also celebrated our Black Alliance and Latino Alliance students with their promotion ceremonies, and we will close out the week with our 8th Grade Promotion Dance.

It’s hard to believe we have only five days to go. There is still much to look forward to next week, and we are incredibly proud of our students and their growth, not only as learners, but in their maturation toward young adulthood.

There will be one final AMS School Bulletin next week before we head into summer. Thank you for being active partners in your child’s growth and development. Our success as a school is only possible because of the collective support of our entire community.

Have a wonderful weekend, and Go Cobras!

Mr. Mapes
