Good News Call - Mason Gifford

2/28/20 Good News Call is in behalf of Mason Gifford, a sixth grader.

Yesterday on the way to lunch there was some trash that was sitting on the ground as many students were walking by.  Mr. Parks and Mr. Goodwin were supervising the area and saw Mason take time out of his dash to the lunchroom to pick up the trash and throw it away.  Both Mr. Parks and Mr. Goodwin were very impressed that this mattered to Mason and wanted to be sure he gets a shout out.

Way to go Mason!  We appreciate you going the extra mile and making AMS a great place to be!

Good News Call - Libby Stebbins

2/27/2020 Good News Call is in behalf of Libby Stebbins, a seventh grader.  Mrs. Hahn--one of Libby's math teachers--writes: Last week in math class, Libby was working hard on solving equations. Near the end of the hour, I was checking her paper & saw she had 1 wrong. I didn't have time to see where she went wrong as I needed to check STAR cards before leaving for lunch. I gave her my justification & told her to look to see where she went wrong. Since there is more than 1 method to solving equations, she couldn't find her mistake. She patiently waited for Ms. Brux to get done helping another student so she could ask her where she went wrong. She worked through the problem with Ms. Brux & found her mistake. Not only was her perseverance & precision something to be acknowledged, but this was all happening while everyone else was on their way to lunch, so she was the last one out of the hallway to head to lunch!

Great effort Libby! Mrs. Hahn & Ms. Brux love your love for math!
