Wellness Wednesday
This week’s Wellness Wednesday challenged the students with this quote: “Sometimes the greatest gift you can give another person is to simply include them.”
The kids had great ideas of ways they can include others positively in their school day. How does this translate into your home? How about a family game night where all members are part of the fun? What about a walk after school to just connect and talk? We have an extra hour of sleep this weekend...I smell a pancake family breakfast on Sunday for everyone in the house!

In recent years, our generous AMS community has supported the Manchester VA Hospital Outreach Program through the purchase of gift cards for groceries and gasoline. We will have collection jars in the lobby for donations of cash or checks made payable to AMS beginning November 1. Since 2014, we've raised over $12,000. Thank you in advance for your support!
