Principal's Message
Hello, AMS Students and families,
As we approach the upcoming Monday, I want to take a moment to reflect on the significance of Veterans Day, a day dedicated to honoring the brave men and women who have served our country. While we will not have school on this day, it is important for us to take time to recognize and express our gratitude for their sacrifices and commitment to protecting our freedoms. Thank you to all of our community members that joined us for our Veterans observance assembly on Friday 11-8.
Veterans Day is a reminder of the courage and dedication exhibited by our service members and their families. I encourage everyone to take this opportunity to learn about their stories, participate in community celebrations, or simply take a moment to express thanks. Each act of recognition contributes to a culture of respect and appreciation for those who have served. If you haven't taken a moment to walk or drive by the AMS campus this week, please do so this weekend to enjoy the incredible display.
I also want to include you all in a message that was shared with all of our students and staff last week after the recent election. As we reflect on our recent election It’s important to remember that this process is a vital part of civic engagement in our country. We also recognize that this can be a sensitive and challenging time for many.
At Anacortes Middle School, our core values remain rooted in respect, kindness, and inclusion. Regardless of political outcomes, we must continue to carry ourselves in a manner that is respectful and supportive of all. Our campus is made up of individuals from diverse backgrounds—people of all ages, ethnicities, races, belief systems, and genders.
In the spirit of unity, students and staff must refrain from making any statements that are divisive, hurtful, or disrespectful to others. Hateful language and Hate Speech is unacceptable and very hurtful. Together, let’s ensure that AMS is a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.
Thank you for your care in upholding these values. Together, we can create a positive, inclusive space for all.
I felt it was important to continue to spread the message to our greater school community about our values and how want everyone to feel at our campus.
I wish everyone a lovely extended weekend.
Best,
Kia duNann
Principal
