Thank you to our staff, students, families and community members who have contributed to our districtwide food drive thus far! Well over 800 items, from canned goods, to boxed foods, paper products, toiletries and baby care supplies have been donated directly to ASD families, as well as to community food pantries across our immediate area. The Administration Building's collection continues into next week if you would still like to contribute! #ASDProud

Mrs. Deni’s middle school class took an exciting CBI trip to Burger King to practice real world skills. Before the trip, the students learned how to read a menu, create a budget and calculate the correct change for their meals. During the visit, everyone used perfect manners when ordering and interacting with the staff. The students enjoyed their meals and left no crumbs behind!
Special shout out to the Burger King staff for their kindness 🤍

The AMS Best Buddies club made thankful trees at their November meeting. Students worked with their Buddy to talk about things they are thankful for and to create thankful trees. We are so thankful for our Best Buddies club!!

More Halloween fun!

Ms. Long's class celebrated Halloween by participating in a mummy math activity :)

This week, secondary schools participated in Red Ribbon Week, a nationally recognized initiative promoting the choice to live a drug- and alcohol-free life. This year’s theme is “Life is a Puzzle, Solve It Drug Free.” Activities began on Monday, with students encouraged to wear red to demonstrate their commitment to making healthy choices and valuing their wellbeing, community, and future. Throughout the week, daily announcements at both secondary buildings highlighted the purpose of Red Ribbon Week, and included strategies for maintaining a safe, healthy, and drug-free lifestyle.

At the Middle School, the celebration included themed spirit days and a special Advisory activity in which students discussed their reasons for remaining drug-free. Featured spirit days included Twin Day and Color Your Life Drug Free Day.

At the Senior High, the AEVIDUM Club planted red tulip bulbs on campus during Lunch & Learn.

Today's football game was canceled due to the weather.
