AMS Weekly School Bulletin for Friday, November 13, 2026
|
Good evening AMS Community,
It was another busy and exciting week at AMS!
Our boys soccer and girls basketball teams had competitions this week and represented AMS very well. Congratulations to all of our student-athletes and coaches! The Albany Community Craft Fair was also a huge success once again. A special thank you to Michaelle McGaraghan and Aria Shen for taking on such a big event and putting in the time and effort to make it happen. We appreciate all of the work that goes into bringing our community together for this annual event.
On Thursday and Friday, students participated in Safe School Ambassador training, continuing their work to help make AMS a welcoming, inclusive, and safe place for everyone. And, of course, our students survived the rain today! It was great to see everyone making the best of a very wet Friday.
Looking Ahead to Next Week
We have another fun-filled week ahead!
Monday: Our annual Turkey Trot! We look forward to seeing our students participate and enjoy this AMS tradition.
Tuesday: School Site Council meeting, along with Doughnuts & Popcorn with the Principal. We hope you will consider stopping by to say hello and spend a little time with us!
Wednesday: Our Advanced Jazz Band will perform in concert at the AHS Little Theater. We hope you can make it out to support our talented musicians!
We are also kicking off our second Spirit Week! Here is the lineup:
Monday: Minion Monday
Tuesday: Twin/Multiple Day
Wednesday: Cobra Culture Day
Thursday: Opposite Style Thursday
Friday: Anything But a Backpack Friday
Encourage your students to participate and have some fun with it!
Finally, a reminder that the following week we will be off for Thanksgiving Break. We hope everyone has a wonderful week with family and friends and gets some time to relax and recharge.
Have a great weekend, and we'll see everyone on Monday!
And as always, Go Cobras!
Mr. Mapes
