Update from the Middle
April 19, 2024
A variety of student musical performances will take place during the 8th grade farewell ceremony. This is our students’ chance to showcase their musical talents. In the past, we have had solos, duets & ensembles perform. Performers are chosen by a panel of staff members at auditions that take place on Wednesday, May 8th, at 2:00 pm. Your child’s musical selections should be reflective of this step in life and appropriate for the event. Audition applications can be picked up at the AMS Main office.
Would your child like a chance to see their design on the cover of the farewell ceremony program? All 8th graders are welcome to participate. Eighth grade students can submit their own design or work with a partner. The theme should be positive and represent leaving AMS and/or the new beginning at AHS. All entries will be judged by a panel of staff members.
*Please see Karin in the main office for detailed information about the size and layout for the design.
Register now to help us plan for coaching staff and schedules.
