A few years ago members of the AGS Student Leadership proposed a Halloween Spirit Day on October 31. For the first time AGS students and staff were able to dress in costume (at school) on Halloween. It was a huge success so we will be continuing this tradition again this year. Guidelines for appropriate dress/costumes were developed by student leaders in coordination with AGS Administration. The guidelines are outlined below:
- No Masks
- No props, accessories, fake weapons
- No lights or noise makers
- No fake blood or gore
- No inflatable costumes (must be able to sit in a desk LOL)
- Makeup/hair dye/spray must be done at home
We are looking forward a little Halloween Spirit at AGS. Students that don't wish to wear a costume are encouraged to wear Halloween T Shirts, socks, etc. We appreciate your assistance in making sure that costumes are school appropriate.

This kit is endorsed by the International Union of Police Associations and designed to be prepared in the case of a child going lost or missing. The kit is known to save law enforcement more than 90 minutes when it is filled out!
You will be receiving a flyer in your child’s backpack next Monday, October 21. If you are interested in receiving this kit, you can Click Here or return the flyer when you receive it. Please make sure to return this by Wednesday, Oct 30.
The kit has a place for your child’s personal information, photo, physical description, and fingerprints. This is something you will keep.
Flyers will be handed out in your child's 6th hour classroom. The 6th hour classroom with the highest participation will also receive a pizza party!
If you choose to fill out the flyer and request the kit, a representative from American Income will contact you to deliver the kit(s). For any questions, you can reach out directly to the AIL PR Representative, Jamie Beuschel at 616-275-2978.
Below is the code to join PhotoCircle. You'll want to download the app & then request to join the group for this year's yearbook album where you may submit photos to be considered. The link is also posted in the comments for those who have issues with the posted link below.
Submission Guidelines: Please only add photos of AGS events, sports & activities. Please add a caption to each picture with a short description of what the picture is of & who the students are in the picture. PLEASE DO NOT ADD NON-AGS RELATED SPORTS & ACTIVITIES TO THE ALBUM.

The middle school health curriculum is delivered by PE/Health teachers in SRT class throughout the school year. This will begin in in the next couple of weeks and will continue until the end of the year. The teachers will teach approximately 4 lessons/units for 30 minutes during SRT. Attached below is a health letter that contains more information. Additionally, a health waiver form is attached. The waiver is only required for those who choose to OPT OUT of the district mandated health class. Students will receive a copy of the letter and waiver 2 weeks prior to taking health class. If you choose the OPT OUT option, please return the waiver before health class begins. You may print the form attached to this email and return it to the main office at any time or complete/return the form when your student receives it 2 weeks prior to class. There are also additional copies in the main office. We will be posting updates in the AGS NEWS, including a schedule of when the class will be taught in your child's SRT.

Our AGS PTO No Fuss Fundraiser has begun! The PTO is asking for a one-time donation to support all the activities we provide to the AGS community. Similar to the past 3 years, if we meet our goals, we will not have any other fundraisers and won't be asking students to sell anything. We can't do this without your support.
The top earning student in each grade wins their choice of an iPad 10th generation wi-fi model OR a $300 Amazon gift card!
The top earning SRT class for each grade will get their choice of a pizza, donut, or ice cream party! Don't forget to enter your child's SRT teacher at the end of checkout.
A school wide prize of a springtime FIELD DAY will be earned if we reach our $12,000 goal!
New this year: if a business donates a minimum of $250 to your student, we will display their logo on a sponsor banner on the fence line in front of AGS! Add the business name during the checkout process.
Please note: this system is not set up to report winners by grade level, we will manually determine SRT class winners and winners per grade. We will report the leader boards periodically and share the final results Monday, October 28th.
Thank you for supporting the AGS community!
