🐲 We are incredibly proud of the amazing Social Justice event Ms. Lerro and her team brought to life last week!
Watching our AMS 8th grade Advanced students speak up, advocate, and explore how they can make a real impact in their community was nothing short of inspiring
Seeing the SREIL-ALPs curriculum come alive at Annapolis Middle School through meaningful, student-driven experiences was powerful. Your passion was evident in every detail, and it was inspiring to see our social justice partners show up in full support of our students.
A HUGE thank you to our community partners for donating their time, sharing their expertise, and investing in our students’ growth—you made this experience even more impactful!
A huge thank you to Ms. Rippeon and Ms. Allen for their continued dedication to creating opportunities where students truly BELONG, GROW, SUCCEED. https://www.instagram.com/annapmsaacps/reel/DXKIym8Dvu9/
