"AMS Runs On Reading!” 🐲 Well, at least it does in Mrs. Key's 7th-grade classroom. Her students had a delicious 🍩donut 🍩 tasting where they got to read novels, rate them, and choose their favorite for marking period 2. Great job, Mrs. Key! https://www.instagram.com/annapmsaacps/p/DTYMOfIDpPZ/ @aacountyschools #IBlearning #novels

❤️✨ Thank you~ Gracias Sarah ✨❤️
Huge shoutout to our amazing donor who stepped in with the biggest heart and paid off ALL outstanding student lunches at 🐲 AMS! 🍎💙
Because of you, our students can focus on learning, laughing, and being their awesome selves — not worrying about lunch balances.
Your kindness filled more than trays today… it filled hearts. 🐲 🥹❤️
Thank you for showing our kids what community, compassion, and generosity look like.
