Good Evening AMS Community, This week went by quickly! It’s hard to believe that we are just two weeks away from the end of the first quarter. This Saturday, we hope you can join us for Celebración Latina from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm in the AMS Courtyard. The event is hosted by Familias Latinas de Albany, and everyone is welcome to attend. Come celebrate the richness of Latin culture through music, food, and performing arts. There will be community performances, a scavenger hunt and piñatas for the kids, along with food trucks, raffles, and prizes. We hope you can join us! All are welcome, and the weather is going to be amazing! Next week is our first Spirit Week of the year! On Monday, we hope your student will participate in Pajama Day. We are looking forward to seeing lots of school spirit throughout the week! Our After School Homework Support Program is going well, but we would love to see more students take advantage of this opportunity to do their homework at school on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays in classrooms with teachers who are available to assist as needed. We hope you will encourage your child to attend at least one day next week, and encourage them to bring a friend. Snacks are provided. Wednesday is International Walk and Roll Day at Albany Middle School. We will be tallying how many of our students walk, ride their bike, scooter, or skateboard to school on that day. A reminder that there is no school next Friday as part of Fall Break, and there is also no school the following Monday as we celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Please also note that school on Thursday ends at 3:30 pm rather than our normal Thursday end time of 3:05 pm. Finally, to commemorate the end of the first quarter, we will have our first school dance of the year on Friday, October 16th, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm in the AMS Courtyard. The dance is open to 7th and 8th grade students. We are excited to give our students an opportunity to come together, have some fun, and celebrate the end of the quarter! Have a wonderful weekend, and we hope to see many of you at Celebración Latina on Saturday! Go Cobras! |
