Another Year, Another Way to Look at School

As we wrap up another school year, we can definitely agree that this was not a “normal” year.

AMS Says Goodbye to Marta Valdes

In September of 2006, we were blessed to have an amazing, talented, loving, compassionate, and powerhouse of a woman join our School. Marta Valdes joined us in our Old Cutler Road Campus Office and truly, she quickly earned everyone’s love and respect. She has been the smile at the gate, in the driveway, on the phone, behind the scenes, walking through the classrooms and on the playgrounds, always looking to help everyone. There are some children who only want Ms. Marta to help them out of the car - she truly has a magic touch and smile!

Butterfly Release

In April, our students got the chance to participate in a butterfly release! It was so fun to see how they evolved from caterpillars to pretty butterflies ready to spread their wings.
