Welcome Saints!  We are very excited to have you here with us tonight and to welcome you to our campus community.  We are a school filled with dedicated teachers and learners.  We are committed to providing all our students a safe, enriching, fun three years. Our students and teachers are doing absolutely amazing things in these spaces and we would love to share some of these experiences with you. We look forward to the chance to welcome you in person. 

Welcome families and members of the community!  Our award-winning AMS Band and Choir students are proud to share with you all some of the dynamic pieces of music they have prepared.  Come one, come all and join us in the Baro Gym at 6pm to hear these magnificent Saints perform as we officially kick off Open House.

Have you ever wondered what a middle school classroom looks like?  Please tour around and pop in!  From our 6th grade teams, into the "big" building to encounter the amazing science, history, math, ELA spaces and Library, then out into our elective wing and PE areas -- you have the opportunity to view them all. 

​

Out on campus visit our tables, including: school information, our Parent Teacher Organization, Friday Night Live, LINK family advocate, view a demonstration from the AMS Robotics team, and hear from our Prevention and Early Intervention team. Paradise Shaved Ice will be serving their full menu and a portion of the proceeds will be going to support AMS Athletics.

Check out the AMS Garden (located behind the basketball courts) will be open from 6:30-7:30 this evening. Feel free to check out what the students have been growing this year and the mural they painted during last week's garden party. Ms. Schechter, who leads the garden club on Wednesdays, will be out there with a bouquet-making station and answering any garden questions you might have.

Please take a look at the lineup and then Walk to Learn about a topic of your choosing.  These "sessions" feature a workshop-style model, so families can attend the workshop most relevant to their interest.  There are some great topics; please take a look below to choose.  Squeeze a session or two in-between your visits of other parts of the campus.
