Attention 8th Grade Parents,
Due to the possibility of severe storms, we have decided to shorten the field trip in Jefferson City.
Students will now leave at 2:30 p.m., stop for dinner in Lebanon, and return to AMS at approximately 7:00 p.m.
Please know that we have experienced drivers and dedicated sponsors on this trip, and the safety of all students remains our top priority. We are staying in close communication with our drivers throughout the trip.
Thank you for your continued support.

Mr. McAlister’s Ag classes have been learning all about the parts of a horse and recently got the chance to experience these incredible animals up close. It was a great hands-on opportunity to connect classroom knowledge with real-life learning!

We are having technical difficulties with the survey. Please disregard my previous survey request. I will work with Federal Programs to get the correct link and resend it out next week.
Sorry for the confusion!
