“The real contest is
always between what you’ve done and what you’re capable of doing. You measure yourself against yourself and
nobody else.”

News/Timelines/Due Dates
Zoll Celebration – It seems like yesterday when my son Andrew was
in middle school. I distinctly remember,
as does he, the teachers who made an impact on him, not just academically, but
because they took time to build that relationship. Next Friday, we will be in the promised land
(Athens, GA!) watching him graduate from THE University of Georgia!! I know many of you have important
celebrations like this in your families.
Feel free to send them to me so I can share with the staff.
Let Me Know – It is important that we celebrate all the great
things happening here at AMMS. If your
club or your team has an accomplishment, please type up a summary so I can
share with the staff. Also, if you want
to send a shout out to someone please send that to me also.
ITBS Results Are Here – AMMS continues to do very well on the ITBS
as evidenced by recent results.
Congratulations to everyone! Here
is a summary:
Reading 79 second in county behind River Trail (81)
Math 83 second in county behind River Trail (83)
Language 77 third in county but highest grade was
80!
Social
Studies 80 tied for first in county with guess who?
Science 83 FIRST IN COUNTY!
Holiday Party – I hope you are all planning to attend our holiday
party on December 13th. I
know it is a busy time of year and we are all stressed but this is a great time
to relax, talk and celebrate. Let Laura
Hunter know that you plan to attend.
WASH YOUR HANDS!! The Flu
has made a very early appearance this year.
Sonya and Sheila want to remind how important it is to wash your hands!!
Sam’s Club - The
representative from Sam’s Club will be in the teacher lunchroom on
Tuesday, December 11th from 11:45 a.m. – 1:45 p.m. You can
join or renew your membership during this time.
Shout Out: Mr. Shearer wanted to take a moment to
commend the math teachers for all of their hard work this year. They have
a new curriculum this year and have been give very few resources to assist in
their teaching of the new curriculum. They’ve been working long hours to
create those resources and plan engaging lessons for their students.
Great work math teachers!! Your hard work and long hours are greatly
appreciated!!
PRIDE - Thanks for encouraging students to
participate in the service project this year donating to North Fulton Charities
with our “Stock the House” project. It was a success! If you have not delivered your Random Act of
Kindness paper chains to Fran Meredith, please do so.
As you are cleaning up rooms at the end of the semester,
please return any leftover PRIDE supplies that you might have to your PRIDE
liaison. This would be only items that we can reuse for next year
please. This week PRIDE will not meet due to exams. PRIDE will
resume on January 11, 2013 with a silent reading day. Happy Holidays!
Health
Insurance: The
deadline to file a Wellness Appeal is January 31, 2013. The Wellness
Appeal is for people who had completed all the components of the Wellness
Promise, but for whatever reason did not get credit for completion. Anyone who
still needs to appeal can go to www.myfultonbenefits.com
and click the GREEN button. The instructions and form are on the
Welcome page.
AMMS
Shirts: We
are planning another shirt order. Men's sizes are S-6XL and women's sizes
are S-3XL. The cost to you is $26.00 per shirt. Send Beth, vanriper@fultonschools.org, an
email if you would like to order a shirt.
Where is Livingston?
Jeanetta Lewis says, “I would like to pass Livingston on to
Lyn Shiver. Lyn works hard every day to
ensure that all students have what they need to succeed. I have seen her work with students with
organizational needs, prepare for Career Day, work with SAT, take parents on
tours, and cover her peers’ duties when they have a conflict. Her welcoming
smile and patience put everyone at ease.
Her experience at other schools, along with her willingness to embrace
new ideas for our school, makes her a very valued member of our learning
community. She could not be more deserving to have Livingston in her midst.”
Happy Birthday
