“It had long since come to my attention that people of
accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.”
-Elinor Smith

News/Timelines/Due Dates
I know we
presented a lot of information in a short time to you last week during grade
levels about the very exciting initiatives that evolved from our strategic
planning. Please know, especially in
regards to the proposed schedule, that there is still much to work out in terms
of details. I will send all our seed
fund applications so you can get the background and ideas behind each
initiative and also see the incredible amount of hard work that went into these
plans.
We are on
round 4 of walk-throughs focusing on standards 3. 7 and 8.
Congratulations
to Julie Ferris, Vicki Alvis, Beatriz Gyori, and Elizabeth Ferree for
presenting (to rave reviews) at the Foreign Language Association of Georgia
conference. We are so proud.
Our students competed well in the state
technology competition this weekend. AMMS Computer Technology
Club member, Diane Moon won First Place in Non-multimedia Applications for
5-6th graders on Saturday at the Georgia Educational technology Fair held at
The Middle Georgia State College in Macon, GA.
The judges’ feedback for her project was "exceptional use of the
software." We also had a few
students who participated in the robotics competition. Thanks to Sharon and Ed for their leadership
with these groups.
PRIDE – This Friday, March 14th we will
not meet for PRIDE. This Friday is one of our make-up days and we will
run the regular Monday – Thursday schedule.
Noteworthy News:
The AMMS 7th & 8th grade Band
students will be attending the GMEA LGPE (Large Group Performance Evaluation)
event next week on March 19th & 20th. The 8th
graders perform in the afternoon on March 19th and the 7th
graders perform in the morning on March 20th. More details
containing exact departure and arrival times as well as rosters will be sent in
an email. These students should be allowed to make up all work missed as
they are involved in a school activity. Thanks for your support!
Where is Livingston?
Kaitlin Dunn says
“It’s been great having Livingston on display in my classroom the past
few days. This week, I’d like to pass him off to a teacher I hear about on an
almost daily basis from the seventh graders I teach. They tell me her class is
interesting, challenging, and fun. Though I don’t directly interact with her
much, she helps me as a teacher by delivering content that students can connect
to what we learn in life science and can relate to on a personal level.
Livingston goes to Jennifer Lynch – she really makes the ancient language of
Latin come alive!”
Happy Birthday
