Swag Tag Winners 12/13/24
Today was a wrap up day for 6th grade Library Studies Students. They were able to try out their basketball moves like Reed Shepard and learned about how Steve Jobs inspired one student to create a Golf Game with Scratch coding. They finished up by using iPads to scan QR codes to see inspirational people in action and to see the resources used to develop the presentations. Great work everyone! ---Ms. U
Library Studies Students in grades 6, 7, and 8 were tasked with researching an inspirational person or topic this quarter.
They shared their learning in a variety of ways including: Sports demonstrations, tri-fold boards with QR codes to their Works Cited information and additional videos and articles about their topic; digital posters, TED Talk style presentations, and original artworks. One group presented findings on a PBL Book Club: How to get more students to read. Thank you to all teachers and county office staff for taking time out of your day to hear the students talk about who or what inspires them. "Meaningful Learning, Meaningful Lives." Well done students! --Ms. U

Mr. Tarter & Mr. Bryant's 5th period classes got to celebrate with a popcorn party for completing the most I-Ready lessons as a class for a 2 week time period.
Awesome job, guys! Keep up the great work.
When all you want is attention from your parents (principals) so you rebel.
ACMS 8th graders volunteered to assist with Holiday Assistance this morning. Adair FRYSC is so thankful for their hard work moving all these boxes from storage!
6th graders used their investigative skills to decipher hieroglyphics & answer questions about Ancient Egypt. Afterwards, they had to work together to crack the mathematical code to unlock the box! Prizes awaited our victors, and a huge relief left them as they correctly calculated the sequence!
ACMS celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday at school!
Thank you to all the Students, Teachers, Cafeteria workers and Administration for making this a fantastic day!
Swag Tag Winners from 11/22/24
8th grade students at ACMS have been heavily studying the Holocaust through the reading of “The Diary of Anne Frank”. Yesterday they were given the privilege of hearing from a Holocaust survivor, through a live zoom call set up through the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Students were able to hear her story and engage with her through questioning. This was an honorable experience that will stick with our students for a lifetime!
November 21th, ACMS family fun night at 5:00pm!

November is a National Picture Book Month. To honor the special memories made with and importance of reading to children, the ACMS Library is hosting a reading contest this month: Read a Picture Book with Someone. It could be your family members, friends, a pet, even your favorite stuffed animal! All you need to do is read a picture book with someone, take a selfie with the person you are reading with and be sure the book is in the photo.
Email the photo to Ms. U along with your response to the following: What did you like most about reading a book with someone? No time for email? Stop by the library and show Ms. U the picture, then submit an entry on paper! Winners will be drawn for a special prize 11/26--the last day before Thanksgiving Break!
Also, families, do not forget about the Family Fun Night on Tuesday, November 19. Come and read a picture book with your student and enter the contest: Family prizes will be awarded same night!
